RSS Sync

Alexander Turcic · 08-16-2004, 05:28 AM

RSS Sync is a Pocket PC 2003 ActiveSync Extension. It synchronizes RSS/RDF news to your PDA - effectively creating an offline newsreader.

Unlike Egress, which can be used only while you are online with your PDA, RSS sync works a slightly different way: the sync program updates RSS data at scheduled intervals. Data is then synchronized to the PDA, where it can be viewed in the RSS Viewer aggregator. The headlines are stored in a small database on the PDA, so you can carry the information with you anywhere and examine it without being connected on the internet. When a link to a website is provided with the RSS article, you can activate it and be redirected to a web-browser, which connects and retrieves the web-site online.

Myself a RSS devotee for not more than three months, already I cannot imagine browsing the web without it.

This looks like the RSS reader I've been waiting for. I'll try it out when I can and let you know what it's like!
