If you haven't invested in software for RSS downloading and are interested in getting started, they have a demo version available, and sell the retail version for $14.99 at their site!

I always like to see another alternative to what I am already using, but PocketRSS from HappyJackRoad.net does tha same thing and the Today Plug-in also works within PocketBreeze. And PocketRSS only cost $5.95 versus $14.99. Just thought I would throw that one out there. PocketRSS works for me and seems quite stable as I have been using it for about a year now.

I agree. I've been using PocketRSS since February and I think I stick with it, especailly because of the today screen settings ie font colour etc, although I did like the way SmartRSS rendered the webpage when you clicked on the link.

I installed the trial version but when I open the program, it says not database can be found, or something similar. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Has anyone installed this successfully to a WM 5.0 device?
