FreeReader brings the speed and convenience of RSS feeds to a wide
array of mobile phones with a clean and fast feed reader. Install
it, and those fun little games on your phone will soon suffer from
neglect as you instead go straight for all the latest news from
your favorite sources.
You can set up everything through your phone, but your best bet is
to create your account and feed subscriptions through the Web site
on a PC. As with any good news reader, you can import or export
OPML lists from other readers, though you?re limited to 10
subscriptions with the free version. You can also create custom
feeds that track news on particular topics or that watch stock
activity for one or more stock symbols.
After a quick download to your phone you?ll be reading your news in
no time in a customizable and well laid out display. Freerange
starts with article headlines and summaries and only downloads the
full articles when you choose, and a typical update for 10 feeds is
small (around 80kb). But remember to watch your data usage if you
don?t have an unlimited data plan for your phone.
Note: the download link above takes you to the developer's site,
where you can create a FreeRange account. To install the software
on your phone, point your mobile browser at http://mwap.at
