From what I understand though, I can still use the iPhone app to see my feeds but I need to use either Google Reader or the desktop NetNewsWire instead of the web page. And as an alternative I can use the Google app (even though it only links to the web pages) that consolidates a number of its services. I'm still trying to get Times to work correctly so I'm still up in the air as to what I'm going to use at this point. But I did transfer all my feeds to Google using the handy <a href="http://www.newsgator.com/productinfo/producttransition.aspx" target="_blank">instructions</a> provided so all is not lost. </p>
