Hello,
So, is there out any RSS reader for WM which really shows full articles.
I've tried a lot of them , SPB Insight,BeyondPod,News Break , etc. and everyone had that ugly link on a bottom "click here to read whole article".
So, I need some RSS reader which will download FULL article , not only a first section of article , because then i need to click on a link, then internet browser opens , and loading whole site where is rss feed...slowly....
Thank You!
I've only used a few, but I'm quite sure any reader you use is going to limit the article somewhere along the line. It prevents your phone from being loaded up on articles you don't want.
Well they can prevent this by loading all articles,but only part of articles, and when you open article which is interesting to you , loads full article.

That's when your really interested, and you hit the "Read Full Article" link.
Yes , I can hit the "read full article" , but problem is that mobile opera needs a lot of time to open and load page( whole page where is the article) , its not extracting only the article , and thats wasting of time and money(gprs,3g)
I just want that RSS reader extracts full article , so I dont need to open my internet browser...
I could be wrong but I think this is determined by the feed itself and not the reader. for example wmexperts, brg and engadget post the whole article cnn does not.

definitely : this is not reader related, but due to the feed :
most of sites truncate the article so that you have a glimpse of it and need to browse their site to have the full article (and more... purely marketing wise)
Some others push the full article in their RSS Feed.
By the way, I tested different readers, and to me BeyondPod (2.8) is great : includes icons, manages rss, podcasts, and automatically downloads podcasts when refreshing, not like the buggy Newsbreak which is not free (!)

I know of loband.org and html2text.com , but there's another site I used a while ago which I can't remember the name of - it was a simple design, just a box where you entered the URL in the middle of the page and a go button - and it brought back a fairly well-done low-bandwidth version of the site.
Can anybody remember that URL?
I'm trying to make a bigger list of sites such as these so I can do a comparison of all of them, but it's driving me mad that I can't remember the name or URL to this other site which I actually used at one point! I think I even signed up as a user on it!
There are several of them - Skweezer, MobileLeap, Google Mobile etc. I've also elaborated on them in the Web Browsing Bible.
SKWEEZER, THAT'S THE ONE! hahaaaaaaa, thanks dude.
Never heard of MobileLeap - I'll have to check that one out now. Got a link to your web browsing bible?
im just now understanding and utilizing RSS feeds (yes im late, lol)
and i wanna keep up with the latest headlines of digg and slashdot as a plugin.
im testing and playing with egress, while its nice and intuitive its only listing one headline at a time in random order on my plugin page.
I cant figure out how to expand the plugin to allow for more headlines or how to have two websites displayed at once.. is this software even capable of doing this? Or am i gonna have to just get used to one headline at a time?
I don't have a data plan so I read RSS feeds offline (I have been using YomoMedia happily). Sometimes, I would like to read full articles. Are there any RSS reader that can trick the source into downloading the full feed rather than the summary or title? Or is there an RSS reader that downloads the full feed link in addition to the summary so that when i click the link, the full feed is available?
Thank you very much for your help!
Would you not be using your data plan to download the full article to start with anyway?
Or do you mean download the full article via Wifi then read them while offline?
Yes, I download them via Wifi and then read them offline.

I either look for rss feeds where they supply full text. (in the UK the newspaper guardian.co.uk gives full rss feeds, where bbc.co.uk only gives headlines)
additionally I use an offline web program. Something like HTTrack.com is great as (from a PC) you point it at a website like xda-developers.com and it downloads the *entire* website onto your pc. You can then copy this to an SD card to read on your phone in Opera at your leisure
Most RSS clients act like a browser so there is no room for improvement: they get that content that the supplier gives them.
You could:
a) find a better RSS feed for a given source;
b) use feed proxy that could parse content and give out RSS;
c) use RSS reader that support custom templates (you will either search for templates or write by your own).
gonews touch supports custom templates....it comes with a toolkit for this purpose
You can also use Yahoo Pipes. There are some pipes which do exactly what you want.
All the feeds in my Egress are fetched using a yahoo pipe. Pics, full text, everything is there.
Thank you so very much. I didn't know about Gonews Touch supporting custom templates that can be used in such a way and Yahoo Pipes. Coding is not my strong suit but I will give them a try. It is unfortunate that no RSS reader supports it natively.
Hello everyone,
while I was on my tortureous Odyssey of finding a working htc sense eReader.cab version I had an idea ...
Isn't it feasable to use the mobile page of the "Project Gutenberg" like a free app-store? It would be overwhelming! About 20.000 free eBooks to choose from - and to make the decision more difficult - one can choose the format in which the file will arrive on the device --> pdf, epub, html, w/o pics....
Just an idea.... but I must admit that I'm a loser when it comes to programming. I could do beta-testing
Good Idea but one hell of a project..
Any one willing to take it on?
Just an idea...
That's how the mobile site looks alike:
http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog.mobile/search/
There are also apple-apps available, which are similar to the setting of the mobile site... don't know, perhaps this could be a helping information?
Or you could just download Freda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7141176), go to the 'Add to library' screen and point it at the Lucidor OPDS catalog of the Gutenberg books database (http://lucidor.heliohost.org/opds/pg.php). That should work ...
EDIT: It does work, kind-of. The 'next/previous' page reference links aren't being picked up right by Freda, so for multi-page entries (e.g. "all authors beginning A") you only see the first page. I will fix this in the next Freda build. In the meantime, you can work round by manually editing the fi number (e.g. in the URL, replace "&fi=1" with "&fi=100", and the display will start with the hundredth entry, not the first).
This would be quite nice if Freda would support the Gutenberg Site.
Not to mention the additional popularity boost "Freda" would gain with this support!
Very nice idea. Thanks in advance!

Go check it out, taptu just got updated to 1.4 to support honeycomb, it's like pulse, only better .

Purely a subjective point of view to say it's better than Pulse. Both are good apps and I recommended that everyone tries both before forming an opinion.

I was an avid Pulse user and have switched over to Taptu. There isn't one thing that Pulse can do which Taptu can't, but Taptu has several features which Pulse lacks Both are free, so nothing to lose.
i much prefer pulse because of the reading pane. But to each their own Still, thanks for posting.
The point of all these "newsreader" is so I can read the news in one place, but I find that how the sites are designed, it's just gives you a breif detail and then you have to follow the link to the real website to finish the story which is really annoying. I might as well have bookmarks to various news sites. It's probably better to find one good news site to go to.

UPVISE is the answer, it doesnt give you the link to go somewhere to read the rest of the content, it snaps everything into the app in text only mode -- so you can read the full article from where you are at in the app.
I have been using this for quite sometime on symbian and see no issues.
I dont think it ever stores any of those contents locally anywhere to be concerned about them news articles consuming space.
here is the link.

I love pulse on my ipad2 and till the developer update the honeycomb one to be on par with the apple one it's not that good, the iPad one is much faster, render quicker, and you can open the full page inside the app and not go outside of it, plus it refreshes faster on ipad2 . Hopefully the developer will update it soon.

I've switched over to Taptu, for me Pulse was way too limited on the news sources but Taptu is the complete opposite
+1 for Taptu.....being uk based I find more feeds available on taptu and the configuration of feeds is much easier. It's fast and most links take you to a text version with an option to go to web page if you need more.
