Not that this is going to help you for now, but I'm currently designing a prototype for a new framework for creating your own, custom newspaper by aggregating news from multiple sources. The focus lies more on applying "collective intelligence" algorithms, rather than follow rigid RSS- or web site-based structure of the previous applications. We'll have to see how things work out, though, since I'm not even sure if such a goal is actually feasible, given time constraints. Like you, I'm sorely missing my daily dose of news. (Don't have a working Palm device anymore.)

The output format will be fully decoupled from the actual aggregation process. My primary interest lies in supporting ePub, but it should be possible to hook up any output format.
