In case you guys haven't heard of it... Much better than Google Reader through PIE (my previous reader solution).

I agree, I think this is a great application which is still being developed, but Microsoft has already featured it on their main Windows Mobile site. A friend of mine actually works for Viigo, and I can tell you that they do have a great team of developers who I'm sure will continue to make the program better.
Installing it and managing your feeds is a breeze, and the program just looks ultra-sweet. Hard to compete with Egress, but I currently have both on my PPC right now, and prefer to use Viigo for its clean looks and usability.

Can someone recommend a good RSS reader for the FUZE / WM6.1?
thanks.
Does the Fuze not come with an RSS reader (RSS Hub) like the Sprint Touch Pro?
If not, then i'll recommend pRSS Reader. Very nice freeware.
http://prssreader.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
RSS Hub is the best.
Beyond Pod
It does RSS and Pod Casts. I don't think it does Viedeo Pod Cast though. It is free and is easy to use.

I wish Google Reader worked better on the Fuze. Google Reader owns all RSS feed readers.

Just use the iPhone version at http://www.google.com/reader/i/ using Opera instead. For those on the Fuze, make sure that Opera is not using the MEdia Net proxy (uncheck http and https proxy in the proxy section of opera:config) and that the proxy is not enabled for MEdia Net (in the connections manager). The proxy screws up the Javascript so no stories show up. After that, it works just as well as it does on the iPhone.
I use Newsgator Go ... syncs with my desktop and the web so I can access feeds where-ever I am and not get confused as to what I have (or have not) read...
RSS Reader
I have used Insight (SPB) for the past year or two with no issues both on the Fuze and Tilt. You pay money, but stability and useability is good - especially on a cooked ROM (ROMeOS).
Try viigo.com.
It got more than RSS feeds.

Um, on the Raphael, Opera is the default browser so BeyondPod will open in that. If you are not using a Raphael (Touch Pro) device, you can go into settings in BeyondPod and configure for the External Browser.
Google reader only, it's awesome
RSS Reader
When I had my Tilt, the RSS reader I used was Garish Kernels. It was on my home screen and would update every 10 minutes or so. Is there a similar program that I could get on my Fuze and have it on a TF3d tab? or better still on the home page? All the ones I've looked at so far, I have to put on my programs tab, and manually run it when I want it to update.
i could sworn on the HTC Wizard WM6.1 ROMs there was a TF3d tab for RSS. Anyway to get a plugin for our home screen?

For people with google reader accounts, you should use SpeeedReader. Its pretty solid. Check it out!

I love newsgator.... online service and pda phone service as well....only downside is their PPC software isn't touch capable so you have to use the scroll bar .... but a great reader...easy to use.
Gotta agree on the Newsgator, always synced with my [email protected] and my workstation at home, so I'm not bugged by the same news over and over again
I must say I prefer pRSSreader. I've tried most of these and never found one which suited my needs: downloading pictures/podcasts for offline vieweing (such as before train journies).
I did try Egress 4.11 and that was an excellent application, but i found it crashed too many times when loading a lot of pictures from a news feed, when selected.
So, 'pRSSreader' is my vote! It downlaods everything you tell it to for offline viewing and sync's with Google Reader during updates!
As a shameless plug as well, I have made a pRSSreader icon modification set for my Touch Diamond as I was bored with the rather drab looking icons it comes with.

Hello. I'm sure the majority of this site know what Spotify is. And I've discovered some great stuff, that maybe could be ported to a WinMo device.
I'm really, really bad at coding, so I don't know if this is possible, but hey, why not, it's worth a try, right?
So, to the subject. Some Swedish hackers have hacked spotify and made a program to connect to their servers and stream music. It's all opensource, altough no GUI is available.
So my request is, port this program to a WinMo device, and make a nice graphical interface!
Here is the link to the program.
http://despotify.se/

Come on people, someone? Make the code mobilefriendly and a nice GUI, somebody/a group must be able to do it?
Nobody? would love spotify in the mobile!
Still nobody that can look in to it?

despotify can't be ported to windows mobile. even though its possible, winmo doesnt have a native python runtime, the app would be huge, and to slow to actually be usable.
a new app would have to be programmed in C/C++ or C#
i would love this app two im a big spotify fan and use it alot
+1, seriously now spotify exists for Android and Iphone!
I have been working on a Windows Mobile Spotify client called mySpot.
The first alpha version is complete and I have uploaded it to the forum today.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580208
-Fry
i read on the blog that they are coding a java version. cant we just throw the java **** on your phones and run it in java?
I've ported despotify/jotify to C# (compact framework), and will release a working Windows Mobile client whenever I manage to build a nice GUI.
Maybe, some day, I will combine it with my old Grooveshark player, and create a all-in-one music app.
Stay tuned
Excellent news, nilezon, thanks. I'll look forward to this

Dear all,
I am running a Samsung i780 with WM6.1. I'd like to be able to read some RSS feeds, and have had some success in the past in using the free pRSSreader. That worked really well, but there is a feature missing that I would really like to have. I'm hoping that someone here might be able to recommend a suitable reader.
The problem with pRSSreader, was that I'd read postings that I thought were interesting and then flag them to read later. However, the program wouldn't keep them for later - instead it would ditch all the postings irrespective of whether they had been flagged or not.
So I'd like a way to either make a favourite posting list or save postings that I think are interesting, so I can read through them again at a later date.
Any ideas if there are some readers on the market with this functionality?
Many thanks,
Tom.
There's one called SpeeedReader that's worth checking out if you're a Google Reader user -- it hooks into your Google Reader account so your desktop and pocket feeds stay nicely in-sync.
The only problem is that it doesn't support finger scrolling and can be a bit crashy (at least on my Kaiser).
Thanks for the suggestions!

I went for YomoMedia Reader in the end, as it allows one to save
interesting posts whilst on the train and since its a web app (with a
PPC application), you can then view them on your PC in their full
glory when you get into work!
Cheers, Tom.
I'm sometimes reading books in my mobile and I'm looking for a good PDF-reader who reflows the text nicely so it fits the screen. Adobe Reader isn't really good for it because I have to scroll left/right all the time and that isn't a good reading experience really.
So recommend me a good one guys
Foxit Reader works great for me and is really the only viable alternative. It costs a few $ though but is totally worth it. Reflow works although i prefer to just zoom on columns when reading pdf magazines.
I just tried it, it works just as I wanted it to. Thanks alot man

Actually, if you use the Adobe Reader LE 2.5 CAB that's floating around on XDA, it will include an option to reflow text. If not, there is the Foxit Reader that you just tried, or you can also use PocketXpdf (personally, I like this better than Foxit).
+1 for PocketXpdf!

Can you guys help with a good RSS reader for windows mobile?
Pulse for Android is amazing...but i'm strugling to find a good one for WM. RSS HUB is very primitive...
Help.
Speed Reader
You may subscribe to your feeds using Google reader, and use "Speed Reader" for winmo, it's a Google Reader client for winmo
search for it @ (freewarepocketpc dot net) it's free
I don't think there is an RSS reader for WM that is visually enhanced like Pulse reader.
You can try for instance Egress, SpeedReader, GoTouch, Newsbreak, SmartRssTouch. I have used all of them for a while and from my experience the last two (Newsbreak and SmartRssTouch) are the best - stable and easy to use. With rest I have got few issues, like Egress looks nice but is laggy and freezing while updating, with SpeedReader I could not log on and GoTouch, which is nice visually but does not display feeds correctly.
edit: forgot YomoMedia Reader, you might try it as well, though not my cup of tea.
I have tried all the free rss readers which can be found on the net and final come to
Yomomedia , this is best one you can trust & worth to use.
Maybe it sounds strange, but i found that most comfortable for me for reading rss is opera mobile. It's simple and ... err.. ok, comfortable
