Hi
I would say no, it is not for viewing rss feeds online.
There is a reason for me to still use Avantgo instead of browsing directly to a web page. But this is just my reason.
There are still a lot of homepages which are not designed for Mobiles.
And in Avantgo you can add your own Channel which points to a Homepage and converts it to a usable mobile view.
With this I have my "private" mobile view on all pages I'd like to see on my web enabled phone.
Sure, the browsers can show the same thing. But with Avantgo I miss the popups and the advertising arround the main info.
