Nick and NewsGator are teaming up to create the ultimate RSS solution. Allowing you to read and access your feeds from just about anywhere. As many of you already know, NewsGator offers an Outlook, Web, Email, and Mobile edition and an great synchronization engine to keep your feeds marked as read/unread across all the different platforms. However, NewsGator was missing a full featured desktop client, and a PodCasting solution. Both of which FeedDemon excelled at. FeedDemon on the other hand, was looking at adding a sync engine of it's own. Problem solved. :)<br /><br />I've been using FeedDemon for well over a year now, and I love it. However, the lack of mobile access was always a sore spot. I've tried many of the mobile RSS readers, but they never sync with your desktop reader. To me, that's a big deal because I only use the mobile readers when I'm not at my desk and I don't want to be flooded with stuff that I have already read. So I'm looking forward to the benefits this merger will offer me. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll need to upgrade the subscription to get the mobile access that I really want. :? You can read more information about this merger on the <a href="http://www.newsgator.com/FeedDemon.aspx">NewsGator website.</a> Congratulations Nick!
