PocketFeed 0.6.0 Released
One of my favorite things to do on my Pocket PC when it is connected to my WiFi network at home, is using the news aggregator PocketFeed. It allows me to check if my favorite sites have new entries, and read -depending on the XML feed settings- those entries, or the first couple of lines. The version I have used over the past months was the initially released 0.5 Alpha, and it was pretty stable. But now, they have released version 0.6.0, adding some features to the mix:
� ETag and If-None-Match support added for faster downloads
� More Pocket-PC 2002 like visuals in options dialog
� Download date now saved in OPML
� Enabled Clear Type/Fit to screen/Font Sizing Menu Options
� Cache size shown in options window, wipe the cache, and view it's location
� Splitter Bar can be snapped up
� HTTP Referer can be set (stored in registry, options panel)
� Clean cache contents (options panel)
� Last imported blog list address is persisted to registry.

NewsGator Outlook plug-in: http://www.newsgator.com :rock on dude!:
It's a great addition since I can even sync the feeds down to my PPC! :-)

Alright, very nice program, but I find it very confusing.
I saw the screenshot posted by Marlof, and one of the sites lsited was "The Registrar". Hoe exactly can you add that URL? I tired www.theregistrar.com, but that didnt seem to help it.
Any suggestions?

It's The REGISTER ( http://theregister.co.uk) - a UK-based IT site that's well worth checking out. The news feed that PocketFeed needs is http://theregister.co.uk/feeds/latest.rdf

I had no idea Trillian did this. I'll have to check it out. I assume it's a plugin?
