Newsgator Mobile Beta

A little less than three months ago, we announced a couple of new mobile RSS readers that were in the works. One of them was a reader for Windows Mobile devices called SmartRead, which was under development by Kevin Cawley. Now christened NewsGator for Windows Mobile Devices, the product has entered public beta, and is available for download here.” [ranchero.com]

Great news! I immediately downloaded the beta this morning and hooked it up to my SPV C600. It looks great and works well. I have a few usability issues, like it does not handle the Back key to move to the previous screen, something that is standard behavior on a Smartphone, but overall this look like a very good mobile RSS reader.

Of course, with NewsGator Mobile I can now sync my RSS subscriptions across all the platforms I use on a daily basis (Windows XP, Mac OS X and Windows Mobile). For me, this is a very compelling party line.
