RSS Feed/Reader

I've not yet used the RSS feed facility for notification of news/new databases etc. but would be interested to have recommendations for a suitable, free, RSS reader to do so. Searching has just thrown me into utter confusions! Crying or Very sad

For use on my mobile phone PDA style or PDA linked to an Mobile I use News Break, its not free but can be tried free for 28 days IIRC, OK it costs you in GPRS traffic but if contracted to a mobile provider with a GPRS bolt on its not too bad, you can also keep in touch with what's going on on various web sites using this method - I only tend to enable it when away on business, and monitor the costs using a GPRS traffic logger such as SPB GPRS Monitor - Otherwise it can get costly, just another option but not for the PC - Mike

For PPC / smartphone theres plenty of freeware.

But none match up the Egress payware.

Highly configurable and the quality of the Today plugin puts it above the competition.

I use about half of my 40MB inclusive on RSS updated hourly, So it is essential to remember to disable GPRS when roaming, particularly abroad.

Having installed and used this one http://www.feedreader.com/, from your recommendations, I can say it's perfect for my needs. Free, simple and does what it says on the box.
Thanks a lot Wink
