Iambic Offers Free TopStory RSS Reader and Jabra BT150 Contest
"iambic, Inc., a leading provider of productivity enhancement software for handheld computers (PDAs and smartphones), today announced the availability of TopStory, a free mobile RSS (Real Simple Syndication) news reader that makes it easy for users to subscribe to their favorite news feeds or blogs directly on their Palm OS or Windows Mobile-based phone....From now until June 30th, 2007 everyone downloading TopStory from iambic.com, our FREE news reader available for Palm OS and Windows Mobile, will automatically be entered into a drawing to win a Jabra BT150 Bluetooth Wireless Headset. Since TopStory is free of charge, no purchase is required to participate in this special offer. 5 lucky winners will be drawn on Monday, July 16, 2007 and a Winner's Circle list will be posted here."
A few weeks ago, iambic released their free ad-supported RSS software for Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones as well as Palm devices. If you don't have a reader for Real Simple Syndication-formatted feeds like ours, it's worth checking out. Heavy RSS users will want to note that it can import an OPML list of feeds but does not appear to be compatible with online feed gathering sites as of version 1.13. It's a great time to give it a try since all you have to do to be entered to win the Jabra BT150 is download the application.

They got into a little hot water over this when first released it, saying it ws free and not mentioning the ads that are included in the "free" software. Several angry posts in their forum. I think they then re-worded the description of the product.
If you want a basic RSS reader and don't mind the ads, it's a good deal.

Come to think of it, when I downloaded it then, I don't remember seeing any note about ads and only discovered it when I installed it. I just thought I'd overlooked something.
