Mobile RSS readers
For various reasons I'm looking into mobile RSS readers (i.e. RSS readers for your mobile). I don't mean mobile-optimized RSS feeds, like those offered by Bloglines. Some of those I found seem to be pretty dormant projects so I'm sort of wondering why there seems to be so little available.
I thought I'd collect the list of those I find here. If you have any to add then please leave a comment (or send me a mail). I haven't tried any of these and am just collecting the links for now.
- Feed Burner Mobile Feed Reader
- RSS Reader MIDlet
- Mobile RSS Reader
- Litefeeds mobile reader
- mReader
- RSS Orbit

Hi Matthew,
Thanks for the www.litefeeds.com mention.
You are right, many of those projects are dormant. One of the reasons is that nobody has found an intuitive solution for delivering RSS to mobile. We just recently launched and are working towards that goal. We use a combination of server side (where you add/manage your feeds) plus a Java client on your phone (where you can scroll, view and clip articles) which makes the mobile experience more friendly.
Give it a try and let me know what you think .. thanks
