Can someone offer some suggestions as to a good RSS new reader than will connect via 3G every "x" amount of minutes to download news say from the BBC.

Ideally it'll have a Today Screen plugin so that the information cycles or is readily availlable. Running WM6 Black 3.0.1 btw.

Thanks in advance.

Spb Insight is for me the best out there. Integrates perfectly with Spb Mobile Shell. You can scroll the news on your today screen or just use it as an application.

It's not free, but if you know your way you can find it on the net.

Works like a charm on WM6 Black 2.5

I use pRRSreader from - http://pda.jasnapaka.com/prssr/
It's free, although with Black 3.x I've found it slows the turn-on from standby and means that people calling you get an extra ring before you get the first. At the moment I just have it installed without the today plugin and it works fine.
You can set it to download every 1 to 9999 minutes.

Theres also a handy Wiki page on usefull software....

Doesn't look like there are any RRS feeders on their so I'll go add the two mentioned.

Make sure you use Spb Insight 1.5 (1.1 was very slow, especially on SD cards)

I use Egress - http://garishkernels.net

It works fine for me, and is a part of my everyday phone usage.

I enjoy prssreader the best because it is small and does what it is supposed to do.

I use PocketRSS (http://www.happyjackroad.net/index.asp). It works really well.

Anyone had a look at hubdog, found it great, supports podcasts and it is free too.

Just tried hubdog, lots of features but seemed slow and a bit of a pain to use. Nice that it supports Podcasting though, and the "block connection" option is an excellent idea as it stops podcasts downloading on GPRS/3G.

I use Newsbreak ( http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/nw/newsbreak.htm).

I really love it. It is fast, stable, easy to use, has a good/clean inferface, and even works with podcasts. Its not free, but well worth the money, highly recommended. There is a 30-day trial period so you can try it out.

PS Using it with Black 2.5

Looking into it, I think it would be great if there was a newsfeeder that can automaticly download enclosers when connected to Wi-Fi but not over GPRS/3G, while still allowing the news to download in all cases. Wonder if it's possible or if anything is about.

BTW should this post be in the Hermes WM6 section?

My question, EXACTLY!

FWIW, I also use GarishKernel's Egress. Works nice, but not free.
