I like yomomedia. Most versatile one I have found.
Go to www.yomomedia.com, you can set up your feeds on your computer and choose which ones go to the phone. Mobile apps are posted there as well.

RSS Hub is nothing more than a rebranded Newsbreak.

Spb News does the job for me. Nice finger-friendly UI. It's shareware unfortunately, but trust me it's worth any cent.

I do. It's the best for my purposes. I mostly skim the headlines, and only read the interesting articles. Rss Hub/Newsbreak is ideal for that.
If you have a lot of channels where you want to read all articles, then a full-text reader might be better; something like SPB News.

BeyondPod is RSS, awesome, free and works perfect for audio/video feeds.

It's not free, but egress is worth every penny.
I use pluck on my PC, and egress on my jam. Or I did, until it died....

Is there anything like this for Pocket PC (sports related)?

This is a great app for the iPhone if you are into sports, or have fantasy leagues or whatever. I'm curious if there is anything like this, that will allow you to get sports updates, and track team/player stats for the Pocket PC.
Check out the video to see how it works. Thanks for your help.

I would also like to see if there is something like this, or any sports related applications.

Would you recommend it over shopsavvy? Updated my first post as well, by the time I'm done my first post will take up the first page lol.
As far as the file manager its a good start but can't open most of the files which sucks.

Cool thanks gonna switch em out right now!
I didn't like the solitare interface. It was a forced landscape, and the card sizing is funky...not the cards themselves, but the symbols/numbers. They should've taken a cue from WinMo and made the hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades oversized so that they're more visible.

Facebook, no 'Like' in News/Update pages, and cant see comments!!

Where is the 'Like' button and why on earth can you only see the original status posted by a friend and not any comments made about that status???
I Commented on a friends status only to find out (logged on from my PC) that 4 other people had already commented and so my comment made no sense! lol

Yeah I must say coming from the iPhone the facebook app on win mob is terrible! Ok I know its pretty sad saying that but tbh before having my iPhone I didn't use facebook much but because the facebook app on the iPhone was such a pleasure to use I really got in to it... I'm having to use facebook on opera now.
Dump the FB app, it's utterly useless.
Use http://touch.facebook.com instead. Better, faster, and works awesome in Opera.
Thats what I have been using shame there isnt a facebook app that works though..

I'm not hugely into FB but it would of been nice to at least be able to use it as it's a preinstalled app!!
Considering the guy who developed the iphone version of facebook app fell out with apple due to its ridiculous app store approval process, they should get him to make a WM version!

Been using the touch.facebook.com for a few days now and you guys are right so much better then the app for WM... but just wondering if anyone else is having an issue with it being slow to update news feeds? Seems to be way behind at times!
ive had that problemw ith the touch site, but the main diffeerence for me between the iPhone app, is the lack of facebook chat, thats a nice feature!
Thanks for the heads-up regarding touch.facebook - didn't know about that! The winmo facebook ap is not very fully featured at all, which is a shame, because it wouldn't be a difficult application to write. That said, browsing being as good as it is on the HD2, i usually just visit the full facebook site. With pinch zooming i find it a breeze to navigate. Touch is probably a more sensible option though i guess. Just replaced my facebook ap quicklink with the facebook touch bookmark

Yeah, at the bottom is a link to "Mobile Site" which is m.facebook.com I think - that has the news feed issue fixed, but isn't as finger-friendly (it's not bad tho).
Neither of them allow you to view or tag photos very well IMO, a decent FB WinMo app would be very welcome.

Twitter tab numpty?

Am I being a numpty?
In the Twitter tab, I can't see a way of bringing up a list of who I'm following in Twitter.
Is it just me, or is it not actually there?
Ta.
Ha no I can't find that option either. So no, you're not alone
I just wanted to tweet @ somebody, and can't figure out how! Guess it's back to having a seperate app
Yeah same problem here. Although I'm a WM6.5 n00b so if you find a decent Twitter app that works well can you let me know what it is??
Cheers.

I was using Panoramic moTweets on my HD, and that was great. I tried a few others, and they're all pretty much the same, but I'd recommend that.
There's a free version with an add at the top of your tweets list, or a paid version that was only a few dollars.
http://www.panoramicsoft.com/mobileapps/motweets/moTweets.php
I think it's now available on marketplace as well, but I'd never recommend that piece of poo until you can install on your storage card as standard!
I'll give it a whirl, great stuff, thanks.
