Mobile Phone RSS Readers

Back in the fall finally took the plunge and became the proud owner of a Blackberry (or "Crackberry", according to some). This was (and still is) my first smartphone, and I have really enjoyed it. Because I travel a lot I don't have a lot of time to sit in front my computer and read through the various blogs I frequent regularly. So instead I've downloaded an RSS Reader for my phone which allows me to peruse my favorite blogs/news sites wherever I am via my phone (you have to have a data package on your phone for this to work). I've used two different applications so far and have been pretty happy with both:

Viigo has been a great tool - I was using it exclusively before I discovered the next reader.

NewsGator Go! is a product of the NewsGator company who, for those Mac people, created NetNewsWire (an RSS feed reader), which, coincidentally, is now free. What I like about this application is that it works together with the RSS reader on my computer, so if I read an article on my phone it will show up read when I look on my computer.

So there are a couple of options - applications that I've personally used and have liked. I'm sure there are others - what are you using?

It's a little ironic that you, the Mac guy, have a Blackberry and I, having only PCs, have an iPhone... don't ya think? :-)

BTW, I totally meant to participate in TTT, but Tuesday came and went before I remembered. Maybe next week!
