My favorite news source is The NY Times, although I usually get to it via Google News.

[jimt29]

Nice program.

[Bupahs]

I am a news hound, hard to pick a favorite but I will go with Reuters

[PJE]

I get most of my international news from news.bbc.co.uk but my main RSS feed would be Engadget.com

[noams]

slashdot.com is my main RSS feed, second one is blogs.microsoft.co.il for local Dev/IT news

[wmm]

I use cnn.com as my main source of news.

[bystander]

My general news comes from cnn.com but the really good stuff comes from Windows Phone Thoughts.

Bystander

[robert_biggs]

For Pocket PC/Windows Phone news Windows Phone (http://windowsphonethoughts.com/#) Thoughts has been my choice for nearly 8 years.

Does that count as two entries? ;)

[fromamerica]

I think the BBC provides the most untainted world news.

[fone_fanatic]

AP mobile and m.cnn.com

[jkovacs]

Windows Phone Thoughts!

[jlhorng]

I have been with PocketPCthoughts.com for many years.

[mbranscum]

Fox News of course!

[Valereaux]

my favorite news source is Google news. i use their news alert feature a lot. one can even create an rss feed from the google news keyword search.

[mafaquem]

I read most of my international news from news.bbc.co.uk but I use register.co.uk for all technnology related and geo.tv/ Pakistan for my homeland news as my main RSS on dailybasis

[academic]

I like and read ZDNet News

[o2lover]

CNN.com is my favourite, followed by BBC.
i am currently using O2 XDA ATOM LIFE, also known as Orbit. i am thinking of switching to Blackberry Curve 8520, but never get around to it. guess i love o2 too much to let it go.

[Bud Pritchard]

CNN for national news, by local cable station for local.

[buzzard]

AP, local newspaper feeds, TMZ, many others

[uzziah0]

NPR news and BBC

[dswartze]

News source depends on the topic, but for general world news I check foxnews.com & cnn.com.

[jsp91470]

I prefer Google News, and yes, I know that's not a single news source, but that's exactly why I like it. I'm not limited to any one news source-- and in the US, most news outlets use the Associated Press as a source, so almost all the news you get from US sources is the same. Google News lets me see other perspectives on the same stories.

[moneytoo]

I guess Engadget is my favorite. It's great that Windows Phone Thoughts still writes about Windows Mobile Standard, unlike other sites almost abandoned it because "it's missing touchscreen".
I tried both GoNews on WM Standard and GoNews Touch on WM Professional but I must say the better experience I got was with WM Standard. Only feature I miss is marking single article as unread.

I don't use Google News so out of curiosity can you tell me where they get their news from if AP isn't used? I'd like to add some other sources to my RSS feeds.

[jeffaitken]

I use Google News also.

[Pony99CA]

There are so many good sources. For mobile phone tech, I'll go with Engadget Mobile.

[SpriteGF]

My favorite's Slashdot. I read it through RSS Hub on my Touch Pro2. :)

[Valereaux]

i replied to this thread days ago that google news was my favorite news source but it said my reply was waiting for moderation. are there any moderators?

[jrjordan]

I try to listen to several, but Fox News is my favorite.

[Powderfinger]

I have multiple sources for news but my FAV, by far and the one I always check first is...The Register! W00t! "theregister.co.uk" all the way baby!

[Theo]

I'm British and hence there is only one correct answer to that question... the BBC for which my license fee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licence#United_Kingdom) (read TV tax!) pays for.

Rule Britannia.... :D

[rombo]

CBC News RSS feed via NewsBreak.
Where else would I get the LEAFS scores?

[org_poqeteer]

hmmm... my favorite news source is actually sfgate.com. Local paper but gives me what I'm interested in. also look at cnn and google news as well.

[jimt29]

This comment gives permission to person responsible for the contest to consider me a winner.

[famewolf]

I get my news either from a customized google web page that pulls from multiple locations or using brief rss reader in firefox.

<div_prefs id="div_prefs"></div_prefs>

[dunneldeen]

CNN @ cnn.com

[jafrank]

Google News - Consolidates many news sources very nicely

[pms]

I use Phoneweaver as a replacement for PocketZenPhone. Althought it was less options it is more user friendly....

[Cyberdude007]

I use cnn.com as my main newsd source.

[gadgetguy804]

Wall Street Journal as main news source.

[jlp]

Oh boy, I haven't been into pda based news since the AvantGo days, probably more than half a decade ago. Then, major newspapers all had their channel. Of course it was not as up to date as it can be now. I don't even remember which channels I subscribed to.

I usually browse my webmail portal (on my PC) that does news aggregation.

I'll try GoNews 1.3 and see what resources they have. I suppose it's possible to add our own, I live in a tiny (but mighty :cool:) country and I don't know if GoNews has related channels.

Eager to see that.

[LPC]

I prefer The Guardian and love the new iPhone app for it. Would love to see the same app on Windows Mobile.
