The addition of this new feature was prompted by a recent survey of Skweezer users, which put mobile RSS access at the top of users' wish list for the service. Skweezer users can now read RSS feeds on their wireless handheld devices, such as PDA's or cell phones, without using a stand-alone RSS Reader. RSS feeds are often more convenient for mobile users to read than full Web pages, as they consist of a list of headlines and short descriptions that link to the full story or article. Content accessed from the newsfeed is compressed and reformatted with Skweezer's wireless optimization technology, making it faster to load and easier to view on a wireless handset. RSS feeds can also be bookmarked in Skweezer, allowing quick access to frequently visited newsfeeds right from the Skweezer homepage."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/skweezer_logo.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />I wasn't too dazzled last time I tried Skweezer but maybe I should take another look. Has anyone used it on a smartphone? If any device needs help with web pages bigger than a square inch the smartphone would be it. The new RSS feature might be pretty useful. :)

If RSS on your Smartphone is what you're after, Bloglines works brilliantly. I use it on a regular basis to wittle away time while commuting home.
