The Best RSS Reader For The Wizard?

Hello All,
I would like recommend me a good RSS Reader for our precious ppc (if u can upload it or give a direct link for downloading, it will be much appreciated)!
TIA!

I've found the best to be Egress

Believe me, I've tried most of the others and none of them compare!
Cheers,
Andy

I can just second that. Tried 5 (!) others, including pRSS, but egress is by far superior to all others. It's not free (12$), but well worth the money.
There is a 30 Days trial, after that, there is no way out but to buy it, because you won't want to miss it anymore.
Cheers

I also prefer Egress.

Egress is also my prefered RSS Reader, none of the others are comparable. It also supports podcasts!

speaking of egress, anyone know of a way to disable image downloading? I have so many feeds and end up with a huge queue of images it wants to download. i dont care much for them but dont see a way to disable image downloading.

Office Mobile 2010 Beta is out

https://marketplace.windowsphone.co...64c-d514-4d91-85df-a512bc37c1cd&wa=wsignin1.0
But the stupid marketplace isn't working for all regions so it doesn't show up on my phone marketplace.
Any kind soul willing to extract the cab and put it up for us?

It is discussed for some time in thread which by coincidence appears at the moment right under your thread. It even has the same subject !
Also CAB is on opera homepage, no need to host it anywhere.
Someone please close this.

Uhm it's about the new office mobile 2010 beta not the opera mobile 10 beta.
About the fact you can't get the file use the region changer: http://rapidshare.com/files/308877055/MarketPlaceRegionSwitch-1.1.zip credits to creator(don't know his name)
Set it too USA and you will be able to download

Here is tutorial how to switch regions on marketplace: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inLg7CSv2ss
I just installed it and except for new icons and "(beta)" in apps title i havent noticed any difference. Interface is still old one.

enjoy

thanx but i found it on the forum

on my web browser it says purchased but on my phone its not under "ready to download"?

I tested with the facebook app and its working but the office 2010 isnt?
never mind I got the son of a *****
just gotta make cab with sk tools

good thing about it, is that on wm 6.5 kinetic scrolling works when scrolling opened documents
fast install via the marketplace

Is it only me who has the feeling that nothing is changed and have excel not working? When I open xml file, I get error and then excel crashes.

Yea, i have feeling that nothing changed too. About excel: it works, but on wm6.5 preinstalled office it gave me error on opening random xls files which worked without problems on PC. I havent tested with 2010 yet.

It looks like it's only on WM6.5. I'm not brave enough to flash and cook yet.

could you please tell me where you found it in the forum as i can't seem to find it.

Yes I would also like to know.

So no changes in OneNote mobile either? I thought I read they would be putting more stuffs in or is it not included?

And you don't even know how to search in the xda.
Just use MarketPlaceRegionSwitch v1.1 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577627 to change the region of marketplace.

It' s possible to have a Google reader Optimized Similar to iPhone on HD2?

Hi, i have a little problem.
I'm a bolgger and i use every moment Google Reader.
The mobile version on HD 2 is very bad, it' s possible to use the iPhone view version?
If no, any suggestion for a good Fedd reader application??
Many thanks, sorry for my English!

I have *Exactly* the same problem, i read hundreds of articles a day, and ive tried google reader on opera, both 9.7 and 10, and also on ie and it sucks,
I want it sync to google reader so dont want to use the built in RSS either. something like newswire which i used to use on the iphone when not using the GR in safari would be ideal, an application which syncs to google reader. or a way to trick google into sending the iphone version to opera?
any ideas guys?

try http://www.google.com/reader/i/

[Info]E-reader

Just thought i would share my search for a good e-reader for my HD2.
I have not installed doc tabs or ereader from HTC so looking for 3rd party options.
Freda looks ok - but nothing special that stands out. just a good solid app.
Lexcycle - dont do one for WM.
Mobipocket seems interesting and snazzy with desktop integration and is the one i chose -it does sync, and guttenberg also has mobipocket files, and it can import pdf and html and text etc. it seems well featured with most features you would expect and want.
HOWEVER, just be warned that the cab from their website did not work on first install. I had to uninstall it, and then install to my device via the mobipocket desktop software before touch navigation and menus would work.
It seems adequately features and not as nice as stanza, but OK. If you have touchscreen woes though, install through the desktop app.
Other suggestions are of course welcome.

I think there is one called AIreader that everyone recommends...might want to look it up.
I haven't tried it personally...I like the HTC ereader, but I need to find the cab for it alone since my new rom doesn't have it on it...

I am in love with AlReader! Just perfect!
Im attaching the (freeware) English version. Hope that's okay (it's so hard to find on the web)

I'll give it a try tomorrow and update my post
p.s. I am reluctant to give htc's ereader a whirl as apparently it is quite buggy.

I also like this one...but it would be soooo cool if we got a fingerfriendly version for our HD2...anyone up to the task.
I admit I still have a longing for the tabbed interface and large book covers that you get from the HTC e-reader

Yup that is the one is perfect for the HD2 and I love how you turn pages (I inverted top tapping to forward a page and bottom tapping to return to previous page) I found it to be very good, fast and with a lot of extra options
try it! you will not regret it!

I install the attached file it but it is in Russian ....

Hmm apologies for that... Sure it was the right file...
I don't believe I will be able to fish it out in the next 36 hours (wprking both days and v. busy tonight), but if you can wait a day or two (or someone else comes through) then please check back!!

The best Ebook reader on Windows Mobile is Allreader+. Unfortunately it isn't free but is worth the money, it can read all the important formats as far as I'm concerned and it has so many options that allow you to set it up exactly as you want.
Other options which are good are uBook and Mobireader.

Of course Freda already has finger-friendly navigation (configurable swipes and taps) to change page etc. As for finger-friendly settings screens, bookmarking and table-of-contents navigation, I am working on it ...
Other feature requests are welcome - so if there are features you'd like to see in Freda, please post here, or email me at [email protected]
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks for Freda by the way, it really is gorgeous. I think I will end up using it over AlReader when it loads a little faster and can open in fullscreen mode by default.
But love it!

Working on this now - expect better performance from the next version (particularly when opening a book for the first time, which right now is sloooow!).

Can you check the build number on your start-up flash screen. If it is less than 804, it might be worthwhile for you to download a new version (use the dropbox link on my website) - because build 804 should be capable of starting up in fullscreen mode.
Cheers,
Jim

+ 1 to that. I've been looking for a stand alone cab for it myself.
If you find one let me know, Visa versa of course .
Thanks,

Anyone knows if there is some reader for CHM format?

Hi Jim,
any chance of Freda supporting the .pdb format ?, All my old scifi books are in that format & I can't find any updates for them

To be honest, adding support for extra formats is not one of my priorities for Freda development - because it would make the program bigger, slower and buggier, and in the long run I expect EPUB to become the format of choice.
That said ...
1) As Freda is open-source, someone else might feel differently, and might develop a version to read additional formats. I'm doing some refactoring at the moment, so that adapting Freda in this way will become fairly simple.
2) Calibre is a good (PC based) package that can convert various formats into EPUB; it might be a good solution for you.
Jim

I am using mobireader from mobipocket

Thanks for the tip! Will check it out on my HD2 1.66 WWE

Big thumbs up here for Freda! Finally an e-reader which natively supports epub format. No more hassle of converting with Calibre and using Mobipoicket (although not a bad e-reader).
Some minor naggles but I can live with those...

[Q] Application to read PDF and Docs

Hi Guys,
I am very new to android. Infact i do not even know whether i am asking in the right place.
I like to know some apps which will read out the PDFs and DOC files present in my SD card.
Thanks & Regards,
Magesh

This should have been posted in general... oh well
The wildfire has a built in pdf viewer which scans your sd card, and also comes with a version of quickoffice which scans your sd card for word, excel and powerpoint files, but cannot edit them

Thanks man.. yeah i noticed it..but when i zoom the pdf, the text does not get adjusted to the screen.. instead i have to scroll which i find irritating as i do not find the continuatity of the line properly... .. so can you give me some gud PDF reader which automatically adjust the words to the screen as it happens in the internet browser(default)

I think that you can go to menu->zoom-> wrap text. Or something like that. Works on my phone.

Download adobe reader from marketplace for pdf's bro and quickoffice for docs.
