LiteFeeds the mobile reader
Introducing LiteFeeds:
In my quest to find the reader for my phone I am at the moment testing another RSS and Web reader called LiteFeeds. In the About page of their website LiteFeeds enumerates what it thinks are the common problems with delivering feeds to mobile devices and they mentioned three problems: (i) Limited content channels (ii) Inability to personalize content and (iii) Tedious navigation. Webpost Solutions the company behind LiteFeeds states in the same website that they have developed a solution to these problems.
Our solution consists of : The LiteFeeds Web Portal which allows a user to customize different content feeds and services. The LiteFeeds crawling engine fetches, caches and compresses feeds hourly so content is fresh and mobile optimized. The LiteFeeds Mobile application synchronizes with LiteFeeds Portal allowing users to browse, blog, bookmark and share their personalized content with single click navigation on their phone. LiteFeeds can also be used to push content and alerts to mobile via SMS, MMS or WAP-Push. Our solution harnesses a new open standard called RSS(XML) which opens up a new universe of mobile optimized content (news, blogs, bulletins, deals, classifieds, search queries, photos, mail, podcasts, video etc..). The lightweight and simplified nature of RSS (headlines and synopses) makes it faster to download and easier to navigate than other mobile formats.[Source]

What I think of LiteFeeds
So far to install LiteFeeds into my mobile device was done without any fuss. The thing I liked about it is that you can install LiteFeeds on almost any mobile device as long as you can connect to the Internet. And so far I have had no problem reading my feeds, although it might be more wise to mash or aggregate the feeds.Interesting to see how posting articles to blog might work. I should try it out.
With LiteFeeds so far I have no complaints. Its free and will work on my not so-Smart-phone. Good for checking on-line stuff when out of the office.
