Hi all,

{ NOTE: This does not require modification to the Nook. It is a Web-app will run in the standard Nook Web Browser. }

For those who may have crossed my other thread, I've been working on porting over my Windows Phone 7 app, G:RSS (http://nowsci.com/techviews/20100612...s-phone-7-wp7/), to the Web for use on eReaders, such as the Nook. The Nook is going to be the first one out of the gate, followed shortly by the Kindle, and I've pretty much finished up all the code and display.

That being said, I'm in need of testers, especially since I've done all this development using an Android emulator and a few trips to B&N to test from their store

Below are some screenshots which pretty much tell the story, and here is the feature list:

Full controls from the LCD
Designed to match the Nook menu interface
All standard desktop reader features such as Starring, Marking Read/Unread Articles and Feeds, Labels, etc
Secure passing of login credentials to Google via SSL with no server storage (only a Cookie is stored on the eReader, and nowhere else)

I'll open it up to a few testers first to get the kinks worked out before releasing to the public. If you come across this after I've locked it down for testers, you can watch for the release on:

So, if you want to be a BETA tester, please respond to this thread. No PMs Please.

Thanks,
Ben
