I've been looking for an RSS aggregator for my new Dash, and I was wondering if anyone has anything they are already using and can recommend. I've gone through what's on handango, and I can't say that I've been impressed much with what they have to offer. Any comments on strength's/weaknesses would be very much appreciated!
thanks much.
Try this one...

I ended up going with Ilium Software's Newsbreak. Sure, it costs money, but it's hardly disappoints when it comes to features. The ability to import OPML files is really nice. I've been using it for the last day, and I'm really impressed with it so far.

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with this...
Can anybody recommend a decent, free RSS reader for WM6? I have an HTC 620, previously with WM5 and used Avantgo, which worked admirably. I have now upgraded to WM6 and can't seem to find a decent RSS Reader which aggregates full articles / text, as Avantgo does not supprt WM6.
I have tried various including NewsMix, SplashNews and Viigo, but they all either seem to download just the first few lines of each article with a 'read more' section that then connects to the internet (setting sof 'NO limit' on article size doesn't make any difference), or connect to the internet automatically when I would like to manually connect, using my home Wi-Fi, to update the feeds and then disconnect the Wi-Fi and know that all of the full articles are stored on my device, so I don't have to use my data connection again.
Ideally, I would like to use the RSS section of Yahoo Go 2.0 which is installed on my S620, but this seems to update the news feeds automatically, when I would like to do this manually.
If anyone can help, it really will be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Munkee
I have been using Newsbreak for a while now and think this is the best rss reader. With Newsbreak not the entire article is downloaded and you have to connect ot get the entire document however at least you get most of it and if the story is worthwhile then connecting for a few seconds is worth it.
Try it and download a trial version from Handago.com
i agree, newsbreak is the best. you can even set up filters so you get only the articles you want.
I have bought SPBInsigt and I am satisfied with functionalities in this application.

Thanks for all the replies guys.
Newsbreak sounds like a good one, but I really need something that has full RSS articles and not just the first section, as I tend to use RSS Feeds which I have manually added and so like to read full articles.
SPB Insight sounds like it's the sort of thing I am after, but it's a commercial product. Not that I am tight or anything, but i would have thought that what I am after would be freely available somewhere. Oh well, guess i wil give the trial a go.
If anyone else has any more good recommendations, they will be very much approeciated.
Thanks,
Munkee
I use Viigo and I'm very satisfied with it. It's free too.
I use BeyondPod (http://www.beyondpod.mobi/). It's a free, open source feed reader and podcatcher. It requires Microsoft .NET CF 2.
I like the one which comes on the Samsung Blackjack. You can probably find in here somewhere.
the best RSS reader mini Opera!
The >absolute< best is Newsgator Go! It syncs with your other Newsgator services, like the free web-based newsreader or their desktop client. At $29.95, I feel it's a bit overpriced, but once you get used to having the status of your RSS subscriptions updated regardless of where you access them, including your phone, you might find it's worth it. Also, if you subscribe to MoDaCo Plus, you get a >ton< of free stuff included in the subscription -- Newsgator Go! is one of the software products you get, along with Papyrus, Resco File Explorer, and a bunch of others.

Has anyone seen an RSS reader which installs a url plugin? E.g. if you click on an RSS xml link in pocket explorer it automatically opens up your RSS reader and offers the option to subscribe to the feed? I'm interested in any ways of launching apps from within pocket explorer actually? e.g. I'd like to launch google maps and display a location marker from pocket IE.
I use Egress from www.garishkernels.net

Viigo is what I use.
Viigo
I've tried SPB Insight ... but it works quite slow (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/insight/?en)
Lately I use Egress ... it really does the trick (http://garishkernels.net/egress.shtml)
P.S. Both are commercial ... you didn't mention free
I think the easiest, fastest, and nicest one I've found, is actually GOogle Reader.
Go to reader.google.com on your phone.
Can anyone recommend an offline blogging client for windows smartphone?
I dont have a blog yet so not too concerned with compatibility with blog hosts etc.
I'm only after a few features:
1. must run offline then upload at end.
2. must be able to attach a photo.
Anyone done this?
Cheers
I think a lot of blogs also make use of updating via email.. ie. you email an address and the email is posted as the blog entry, blogger.com comes to mind
thanks for that, yes i've tried and it works, although i'm trying to post a photo also.
Ideally by attaching to the email, blogger won't let you post a photo this way, it just drops the file and posts only the text.
Try getting a blog on Wordpress.
Wordpress has couple of extension reading incoming mail and adding pics as attachments in the posts.
Had done this time ago...
Requirements:
1) Blog which runs on Wordpress
2) Access to the server via FTP so to install plugins
3) Modify a bit the plugin scripts (PHP) so to have exactly what you need.
4) A very difficult to guess email address
...and you're done.
Check Wordpress codex for the mail & attachment plugin.
In the meantime I'll try to see if the modified plugin is still somewhere on my HD home and if found will post it here.
Ka.
Changed the reg entries in the cab so that you can just install and go. Let me know if there are any issues.
Thanks for that @venelar - I've tried searching for the post where the reg. entries were mentioned, but couldn't find it so until now my Kaiser has been RSSHub-less!
Cheers,
Mark.
thanks for that. trying to get this on a Treo 500, but it won't run. Probably because of the storage card defaults, what with there being no storage card in there.
do you know where I can get a 'vanilla' installer for this app?
This may not be the right thread, but I'm trying to find out if there is a way to allow images to download at refresh time. I refresh over wifi at home and then read my feeds on the commute to work and I'd love to have the images as well as the text! If I view when online, they download at viewing time, but the cost of cellular data here in NZ is ridiculous, so I avoid it whenever possible!

I would also love to know if there is a solution to this at it drives me crazy!
same here. Would also like the images..As far as I can see, there are no options in the menu to do that, however,, I did have the paid RSS hub beforehand, and I know for sure that there was an option available to download images in the paid version.
I highly doubt that, because RSS Hub is just Ilium Software's NewsBreak, which doesn't have the ability to download pictures for offline viewing. The only one that I know that is capable of that is SPB Insight.
(btw, I'm still not clear. I checked RSS Hub and NewsBreak, and both are exactly the same, except the title. Did schaps get a hold of an OEM version of NewsBreak or something?)
given up now
Well, I've given up now and moved to the pRSSreader. Not quite as elegant as the RSShub, but it does cache images and links (if you configure it that way) in main memory or on the storage card.

Not sure if this is the right thread for my query, but I added a podcast feed (GeekBrief.TV) to RSS Hub and although it pulls the feed through OK, each time I try to download video, it tells me there is not enough memory. I'm not sure if the error means not enough free ram to execute the operation or not enough storage memory - though I have about 77mb device storage free and over 3gb free on the memory card.
I suspect the default download location is device storage, but I can't find any way to change it to memory card. Any ideas anyone?
Additionally, I downloaded the RSS Hub .cab in this thread, but when I tried to install it I received the 'insuffiecient permissions' message...help!!
Are you tired of the same old boring activesync or wmdc for your Windows mobile device? All of us who have used Microsoft’s so-called sync utility know that it’s nothing compared to their Zune software which they have created. Anyway, you’re now in luck. I have finally gotten to the edge of my patience trying to sync up my phone with their software and ive started making my own replacement for it. Currently, Hydros Sync Center supports being used as a normal music player as well as a device sync utility. Due to it being only a beta, you will not be able to transfer files with the phone, but already it is much more user friendly than the old Activesync. All you need to do to install is unzip the package and run the setup.exe installer.
UPDATE: Tutorial has been posted at hydrosmobile.com on adding widgets
Current Features in beta 3
[*]Install cabs from computer
[*]Pictures library

View general info about windows mobile device (like battery and memory)
View Songs on device
Play songs from device to computer through the library
Upcoming Features

Edit: ok i just added support for webwidgets from widgetbox.com as well so you can now add your own html widgets to appear on the home page. (WIll be available in next version).
-Thanks

EDIT: ok i just posted it here in this post
-Enjoy
Did anybody happen to try out the app yet? Im gonna post up the next one real soon. Only difference is the widgets and the copying of files from phone to computer. If anybody has any new features. Please tell me and if it is a good one, i will incorporate it and reward them.

rkrishnan i have this !!what is it please ? this app is free or not ?thx
ok .i don't like this sentence :Hydros is requesting that you log into your Box.
By logging in using the form on the right, you are authorizing this application or website to access the files in your account.i'll keep winmodevcenter...

this is a mobile addition like mobileme in which you will be able to track your phone if it gets lost. This is not available yet and it wont be until the full version of Hydros comes out. Both Hydros and Hydros Mobile are free and open source software

This is a sync software and part of the definition of a sync software is the idea of being able to access your files. I hope there is no misunderstanding but this needs access to your box net account because it needs to sync up files. If you like windows mobile device center, then go ahead and use it but I want to be clear on what my software does.
so anybody got any other ideas they want me to implement into this app for replacing activesync?
beta 3 is posted and it has cab install feature + pictures library + some bug fixes so it doesnt freeze too much + AUTO SYNC!!!
-Check it out in first post
i know this might be a tall order, but could you make your sync center like the one provided by HTC for Android phones (HTC Sync)
that eye candy is just irresistible!
wow thats tall. could you please post a pic of it? i could try to make a theme. Problem is that sync utility doesnt actually "play" music.
Hi,
I've tried a number of them so far and none of them are what I want:
gReader for whatever reason deletes a post as soon as you've read it return to the list of articles it didn't do that until this version and I can't figure out how to turn that off, there's no OPML import or export and it seems to not find a single URL I feed it for any new valid feed.
I've tried others but so far none has done what I need it to do, just download feeds, and images, if associated, have links showing, be customizable in that it can be organized into folders for feeds, not take over the entire device while sycing as gReader now all of a sudden does. it's become a huge CPU hog while syncing.
Any and all suggestiosn would be most appreciated.
NewsRob is what I've been using since I got my first Android phone, sounds like it should do what you're looking for and it can sync with Google Reader as well.

Funny, just installed it. How do you import or export an OPML file using this application though?
I have looked extensively for a good rss reader. I found Newsroom to be the best out of all of them. Personal opinion, but give it a try. Its functional, pretty, and works well.

I appreciate the recommendation, only issue with Newsroom is that it doesn't have gReader support. there is a four-month tech support thread that has the devs at the trileet company saying because the back end of Newsroomis proprietary and google reader isn't, that they would lose major functionality.
If they can't support google feeds then it's just not worth it.
I think gReader works great. I was one of the people who pushed for 2 way syncing and he made it happen. As for the article disappearing after you read it and press back, it's been like that for a while. If you want to save it, mark it as unread or star it. This is exactly the same way it works in Google Reader. I add or subtract rss feeds maybe once a year so I don't care how well gReader does it. I can just wait till I get to a real computer and do it there.
I use Greed (Lite) - free in the market. It integrates nicely with google reader, has the ability to follow links, and filter read/unread. Also has widgets that can be placed on your homescreens. No importing/exporting required... just provide your google account info and it syncs all of your feeds/folders.
Its worth a try... doesnt cost anything
Been using FeedR. It does cost some money, but its a very good reader with Google Reader support. Works fast, and looks great.

I currently use gReader. The problem you're describing about articles disappearing is that the app is set on default too only show new articles. The circle icon toggles between showing new articlesand showing all articles. Just toggle that and it will give you back your read articles. The check mark icon is to mark all articles as read. After I'm done skipping through the articles I don't want too read, I mark off all the remaining articles as read so it doesn't show up anymore
ive been using pulse and feedr. and so far. feedr seems to be the best one ive tried
