Alexander, thanks for the lead on the thread! I'll see if I can follow it and make it work. That would simply duplicate avantgo's limited space.com feed, though, right? And, if I'm right that avantgo is not regularly updating it, then grabbing the space.com/news page makes more sense!

What I'd like to do is to grab the stories off the space.com/news page (more than avantgo and updated regularly), but without having to tap down multiple times to get to the story!

Now, I muss confess that I didn't understand the rest of your response! I don't know what "urlrewrite" means, sorry to say

"robinson, the problem with feedburner is that they hide the target url, making a urlrewrite difficult if not impossible."

I've grabbed the space.com news stories fine using the feedburner link, it's just the tapping problem I've mentioned.
