as I wrote in previous posts the landscape for RSS on P800 does look like there’s something available…

well – test results are frustrating

• Friday does only support Syndic8 and does not even seem to connect… found no source…

• mReaderdoes import OPML and connects sometimes for download (without progress logs) and then nothing – no reading worked

• PeekAndPick at least brought me to the posts to mark for emailing, but then the email-function was broke… oh well…

• special test for blog-posting not RSS reading Azure returns unspecific errors (general exceptions because of general exception catchers :-( what I saw from the code I started to play around) but I at least could make a connect sometimes

all of these apps are Java / J2ME 1.04 and free/open source (although not all open)... I did not try the commercial tip because of it’s obvious limitations… I also stepped back from the original requirement of offline-browsing and tried to have RSS reading “at least” online

well – overall the usability is without doubt critical and not-usable for my day-to-day use… Eclipse is warmed up and fit with WTK104 and I wonder if there will be chance to make 1 good from 3 bad versions…

update 13:24

Mark Allanson, creator of mReader replied to my inquiries and took my offer to support him, since he is only testing with Nokia 7210… good development – let’s see what comes out… the source will also be put up at SourceForge or so.
