First Look: Viigo for Windows Mobile, BlackBerry

By Jessica Dolcourt – March 11, 2008 2:30 PM PDT

If you think of your typical RSS reader or widget as a stream, Viigo is a river delta.

Unlike many services that feed headline news from a from a preselected widget or manually-entered URL, Viigo--available for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile--gathers news channels into a dedicated client that looks great on your phone. With some saving and functions similar to e-mail, and an extensive library of additional news sources, the free application is the most complete RSS-reading environment for smartphones I've seen so far. Tune in to the video below to get a taste of how Viigo can simplify and extend your collection of mobile feeds. An unlimited data plan, by the way, is a must.

It can be set to update periodically throughout the day, thereby supporting reading when out of service range (on the subway or on an airplane). More importantly, it's managed on the web rather than on the handset. That's how RSS on handheld should be - an extension of the reader set up you use throughout the day. Feeds on FreeRange can be managed on their website or synced with Google Reader.; Reply to this comment
