Jerry – I’m totally with you on the limitations of our mobile HTML reader; many of them are due to the difficulty in building a cross-device mobile HTML application, and the limitations therein. As for your Treo, though, we have a couple folks in the office with Treo 650′s, and they’ve been running our Java mobile app without any problems…when we get it out in beta, be sure to download it and let us know how it works for you!

Ivan – you didn’t mention what sort of Palm device you mean…but if it’s a Treo, our mobile java app will work great. If it’s something else, it should work if it has java installed…otherwise, umm, send me the model number so I can do some research.

Frankly, the weakest link has been the mobile version of Newsgator. I actually do at least 50% or more of my RSS reading on my Treo and one of the my biggest complaints has been the lack of tools for saving interesting posts or marking posts as read without marking all posts in a feed as read. We’re talking a couple posts here and a couple there when I have a few minutes. When a feed has 50 posts and I can only read 5 it’s aggravating that my only choices are leave them all unread or mark them all read. So the announcement of these new tools comes at a perfect time.

That said, I don’t have the new Windows Mobile Treo (maybe I should switch!) and my experience so far with Java on the Treo has been less then stellar. I’ve tried the Java version of Opera and the Java Google Maps tools and all they have done is reinforced my already low opinion of Java applications. I only hope you guys prove me wrong!

All in all, though, I’m tickled with Newsgator’s commitment to a synchronized world. Can’t wait.

Seriously, congrats to Kevin and the Newsgator team. I’ve worked with Kevin in the past and he’s a rockstar.

I’ve been a FeedDemon user since day one and the whole sync story between desktop, web, and now mobile clients is really coming together. With the addition of Kevin to the NG team, I look forward to seeing (and using) cool things before too long.

PS – I agree. Without sync, mobile RSS isn’t convenient. I’ve used another Pocket PC aggregator and while the app itself is good, having to import OPML from the desktop to get my personal feeds really gets old… to say nothing of the lack of read/unread state.

Do you know of a project implementing the NewsGator API for Linux?
