Well, I gave Awasu a quick run and I was not impressed. There are tens, maybe hundreds of RSS newsreaders and I don't see how this app is really any different. It tries to differentiate itself by offering advanced features like XSLT and SOAP, but I think that, in practice, you won't use these much anyway.

I'm a strong believer in the "less is more" philosophy, and this product fails to make the grade in this respect. My newsreader of choice remains FeedDemon, which is pretty much perfect for me.
