I've posted about this in the past but a couple of people have recently asked me about reading blog reading (i.e. on a mobile device) and there are two programs I have used - I still can't decide which I prefer so appreciate any additions or suggestions
- Newsgator mobile (beta) where you host your list of RSS feeds on their site
- Newsbreak from Astraware which allows you to impot an OPML file or manually add feeds to your device.
At the moment I'm leaning more towards Newsbreak for it's flexibility. Both work on Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone and have free downloads before purchase.
Are there others I should be looking at?

For my Windows Mobile Smartphone I'm using Doppler Mobile (http://www.dopplerradio.net/), it's free, built with managed code and works really good. - Anonymous

thanks Stefano - it loosks like Doppler does downloads via PC from reading the site. Is that true or can you download whilst mobile? - Anonymous

What about Egress? You tried that one out? I use Newsbreak 1.2 but will test Egress myself. I have seen it recommended. - Anonymous

hi - I did try Egress a while back but for reasons I can't remember now it didn't suit my needs. Perhaps I'll give it another shot though! Look forward to hearing how you get on with it - Anonymous

Newsbreak is actually from Ilium Software (http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/nw/newsbreak.htm). Astraware is only reselling it on a software store. - Anonymous

I guess, this post will certainly help users find many other services....

Pocketfeed has nearly 20k downloads so I gotta give that one a look. thanks for the reminder on newsreader being Ilium - I should have remebered that!
