The .Mac Reader RSS app for iPhone is awesome

I ment firefox...

Anyone know how i can access this by using safari's user agent thingy?

I don't know how many people have discovered the "Next >>" bookmark for Google reader. It can be found in the Google reader page under Setting in the Goodies tab. There you can grab the Next >> link and place it in your bookmarks. Basically it creates a bookmark that takes you to the next article available in your subscriptions. In Safari I moved it all the way to the left on my bookmark bar, this way it automatically gets associated with the command-1 shortcut. All I have to do is hit command-1 and safari goes to the next article. I have done similar things in Camino, and firefox (even ie6 at work, yuk!) Guess what!? this also works on my iPhone. I just go for the next >> bookmark (that got synced from Safari) and it takes me to the next article. There is no interface involved, just the webpages themselves! you can also do bookmarks for specific feeds. Enjoy

i prefer google reader, it cuts out most of the images so the pages load much faster over EDGE

I was using .Mac reader, and really liked it until NewsGator updated m.newsgator.com for the iPhone. I primarily used NetNewsWire to manage my feeds on my laptop. Since the launch, I have synced my laptop's feeds with NewsGator (online service). Now my iPhone and laptop are maintaining read/unread status for each feed. I was also able to configure only certain feeds to display on my mobile account. It's great, I'm really hooked on NewsGator/NetNewsWire combo now....

er that should say iPhone, not iMac.

It must not like me, because when I goto reader.mac.com on my iMac it just tells me to point safari straight too it and doesn't show anything exciting. And I'm an .Mac user.

Just tried Google Reader. While it's more powerful than reader.mac.com (but what isn't?), the UI is just not as polished as NewsGator (m.newsgator.com).

Google Reader has an almost identical interface on the iPhone as the .mac reader and it has the added value of syncing read status with your regular reader, read by tags, etc...

Much nicer for me as the the full on google reader is all I use for my feeds...

to each his own..

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with NutMac. My one big gripe is that it doesn't mimic the desktop Safari functionality of checking the feeds occasionally and putting up the number of unread articles. I hate having to check feeds to see if there's anything new, when it would be much easier to just glance at my bookmark list, and cancel if I don't see any new numbers.

Also, it took me a little while to stop instinctively hitting the back button from the detail view. It doesn't take you back to the overview, it takes you back to wherever you were before you loaded the feed. Strange.

Don't get me wrong, I like it too, but I think it could be better.
