Does anyone know of an App similar to the Sky News App that my missus has got on her Ipod Touch? Or Another good alternative at least?
Cheers
You can try SPB News or YomoMedia or SBSH GoNewsTouch

Hey do anyone know of a good news widget to use other than the HTC news widget and the genie widget?
Sent from my Sprint Evo
Try BuzzBox
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Looking for the same..I tried Buzzbox and it sucked..Couldn't find the feeds I searched for and wouldn't show news items but from one feed.
I use gReader. It takes all the feeds you have set up through Google Newsreader and syncs it on your device. The adding a new subscription directly from the application is a bit weird, but it works.
Pretty fast too although I don't think it caches graphics until you open the item.
Greader includes a widget?

Well I can just use the HTC News app for that, it works great. I got used to the widget though using Sense the first week or two after I got the phone. So looking for an alternative widget.
I personally think the HTC News widget is too bloated. I prefer the Genie Widget -- not only does it give accurate weather notices, it's also got a great news aggravator.

Where do I find it, I know I found it somewhere before but didn't see it in the market.
I'm also trying to find Genie in the market, but can't seem to locate it...has it been removed?

any other scrollable news widgets? or any way to trick the sense news widget to work with launcher?
No scrollable news reader widgets I know of and I can assure you I have looked everywhere and likely tried out nearly everything out there. I would like nothing more than to dump Sense but personally, I think they really hit the mark on some of their widgets and their seems to be no equivalent in the market. The guy behind LauncherPro has been doing a great job rolling out similarly functional widgets but no ETA yet on the NewsReader.
Lot's of folks seem to really like the Genie widget which comes on the Nexus One but with no way to choose the specific feeds you want, it doesn't work for me.
Buzzbox has potential and is the only non-Sense news reader with a full screen widget. That said, it still leaves a lot to be desired and was deleted without prejudice. It's buggy, articles were OLD (16+ hours), and it was missing a lot of feeds. I sent an email to the developer and in his response implied that the servers at Buzzbox pre-scan the sources to only send you the "best stuff." WTF? Isn't that the job of the editors at the respective sources...?
gReader syncs feeds from your GoogleReader account and is definitely one you should try if pulling from Google Reader is what you are looking for. However, if you are looking for a bit more customization I would recommend trying out Feedr, NewsRoom, and Greed2. They all have "widgets" but that is using the term loosely in comparison to the Sense one. Personally, when I am running a non-Sense ROM I use NewsRoom. Again, it has widgets but they are really just shortcuts. However, in my opinion (and of course, this entire post has been all my opinion) I think you'll find it has the nicest layout of what is available now plus customizable feeds.
Can anyone get/make this app available? Because it seems it has been taken off the market. Is there any reason for this?
Yeah that would be sweeet
Unless I'm missing something, the official Reader widget is not resizable or scrollable (which seems crazy since the Gmail widget is!).
Any recommendations on a scrollable RSS widget for HC similar to the Gmail widget (preferably free )? I see there are a few in the Market, but I thought I'd see what other TF owners find works best.
+1
would like to hear others suggestions as well!
Some suggestions...
That's what I found but I haven't tried them because my wife took the Transformer and doesn't wanna give it back ;-)

I'm the developer of Scrollable News Widget and received my transformer a few days ago. I found this thread while exhaustively browsing the theme and apps forum. I regret to tell you that SNW doesn't work at all with HC However i don't intend to port it because there are already a few very good similar widgets, namely Wizz and News360, the later i tend to prefer.
I use Wizz widgets. (used to be called colorize). Superb widgets and resizable too.

I highly recommend Reader HD. It's built specifically for Honeycomb and the widget is scrollable. It looks and acts just like the YouTube and Market widget, but only gives you headlines with their attached images. However you'll forget all about the widget when you get inside the app and see how beautiful it is. Full Google Reader API integration and it behaves just like the Gmail application with your article titles on the left and full article on the right. Theres even swipe controls to get to your next article, and turning things portrait makes it full screen with swiping getting you to your next article. It was everything and more that I was looking for in a Reader app. It is 1.99 Canadian but worth every penny in my opinion. I wouldnt be surprised if Google snatched up the developer or straight up copied their work for a Reader Honeycomb update of their own.

Hey, Can anyone recommend some news (and weather ?) Widgets for The Sensation, Preferably free and scrollable
The stock HTC News and weather widget aint working for me, It just says no stories all the time, no matter how i configure it.
What do you guys use ? I would like UK news more than World news..
Thanks.

I Use Minimal reader !
Its available in the playstore and has scroll function also
Pulse News is a great one, it's free - however it has only a 2x4 widget.
I prefer Pure News Widget (also has Calendar) - it is not free, but has many functions and theme-able.
there are several posts for this around:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12219062&postcount=7
or I actually used the following one, working on ICS and sense 4

there are also dozens of other files like these flying around in other device forums, just try one and you're welcome.
