AvantGo formally announces support for RSS

[Alexander Turcic]

Once considered the final stage of software development, beta versions are taking on a life of their own, as companies tinker endlessly with their products in public. More than half a year after its first announcement, iAnywhere, the company behind the AvantGo mobile content service, made the availability of AvantGo for RSS official. From the press release:

This release expands the content available through AvantGo by including the millions of RSS feeds offered by bloggers and major media. Now users can:

• Easily sync and view new RSS items/articles;
• Save up to five RSS items per AvantGo RSS channel;
• Share photos, allowing users of photo sharing sites that offer photo feeds to use AvantGo as their mobile photo album;
• Personalize RSS channels to optimize feed subscriptions, set the maximum allowable size for the channel and whether or not to include images;
• Quickly subscribe to RSS channels on-the-fly with AvantGo’s AutoChannel™ bookmarklet for RSS; and
• Promote their own Web site or blog RSS feeds by creating a button that enables users to quickly add their site to AvantGo.
