Pocket RSS 1.3
http://www.happyjackroad.com/AtomicDB/pocketpc/pocketRSS/pocketRSS.asp
Pocket RSS 1.3 for the Pocket PC was released a few weeks ago and boasts several new features and a new view that consolidates and filters all of your RSS feeds.
Figure 1: New Article Viewer Mode
Some of the new features in 1.30 include:
� Updated RSS management mode - alpha sorted, group/Sub-group, organization, list font sizing and drag-n-drop organization of sources.
� New article viewer mode - alpha/date/priority sorting, read/unread filter and article expiration filtering
� Import generic OPML subscription files from FeedDemon, NewsDesk, RSSBandit, SharpReader, etc.
� Export PocketRSS sources as OPML subscription
� Display of Source/Article dates
� Limit number of items per Source on Today Screen
� Single or multiple source viewing on Today Screen
Pocket RSS has a fully functional 15 day trial. You can buy it from Handango for $5.00 (Affiliate link). It supports Pocket PC 2002 and 2003 devices. See the forum for a few other screen shots. Now, if only more sites included the full article text in their RSS feed instead of just the headline. :?

I looked into RSS, but as you mention in your news item, it's a bit problematic on a PocketPC since you generally get sent to a "WinXP optimized" site when you click on a link...Even without a long summary, a link to a "mobile" version would help!

I've just purchased Egress (waiting for my code....) Has anyone compared the new version of this to Egress?
They look similar... however, I understand that the old version was not as good.

Egress
I use Egress too and I like it better than Pocket RSS and I have used them both. One of the really nice things about Egress is support for the 5 way nav. I pretty much only use the 5 way to get around in the RSS feeds that I read. One other note, Karl (Egress Developer) has been awesome at responding to questions and fixes. Just my 2 cents worth.

That was one of the compelling reasons for buying it - when I saw his quick fixes in the thread that followed the last PocketRSS front page thread.

Yeah Karl is amazing with updates and that personal touch. He implemented a couple of my suggestions too. I like the interface of Egress more too.

Do what I did - download the trial of egress - then it's really easy, it already has some channels added, so you can add your own simply. Most sites point you to their RSS feeds from the front page.
