Since this one is free I may have to give it a try. It is available for the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pulse-news-mini/id377594176?mt=8" target="_blank">iPhone/iPod Touch</a>, and the Pulse News Reader is available for <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pulse-news-reader/id371088673?mt=8" target="_blank">free for the iPad</a>. Typically I just go to Google when on my laptop (but it doesn't work very well on my iPad), but switch around to several on the iPad.&nbsp;What do you use for your RSS feeds?</p>

Mostly I use the Google Reader website in Safari on both iPad and iPhone- the same as I do on my desktops (except in Firefox mostly).

Why? Because Google Reader syncing of read/unread items is important to me.

I've tried Pulse, The Early Edition, Flipboard, etc. on my iPad. While all are nice, each also lacks something. I think I'd love The Early Edition if it would sync with Google Reader (rather than just letting me import feeds). I haven't tried Reeder yet, but I think that's next.

For reading of individual longer articles, I love Instapaper and its integration with Twitter, Twitterific and all browsers (via bookmarklets).
