Greenlight Wireless today announced that Skweezer now supports RSS newsfeeds. The addition of this new feature was prompted by a recent survey of Skweezer users, which put mobile RSS access at the top of users' wish list for the service.
Skweezer users can now read RSS feeds on their wireless handheld devices, such as PDA's or cell phones, without using a stand-alone RSS Reader. RSS feeds are often more convenient for mobile users to read than full Web pages, as they consist of a list of headlines and short descriptions that link to the full story or article. Content accessed from the newsfeed is compressed and reformatted with Skweezer's wireless optimization technology, making it faster to load and easier to view on a wireless handset. RSS feeds can also be bookmarked in Skweezer, allowing quick access to frequently visited newsfeeds right from the Skweezer homepage.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content. Many news-related Web sites provide an RSS feed to facilitate access to stories and articles. RSS Reader applications, which allow users to combine multiple feeds and receive alerts for new stories, are usually required to view RSS newsfeeds.
Thanks for the information, I'll look into it. The only problem that I can foresee is that if you want to save a webpage for future reading, you won't be able to because the page isn't really on your PPC to save, it's on the Skweezer server and you're just looking at it.
Well, I looked into Skweezers new RSS reader and liked it so much that I now use it as my RSS reader of choice. As much as I liked Newsreader, this has it beat, in my opinion. The best part is that seeing that you're already using Skweezer, all internet sites that you visit fit perfectly to the normal PIE screen.
As far as copying a web page for reading later (see previous comment) that still doesn't work but I did find that I could "select all, copy and paste" an article to a PPC Word document for later reading.
