Free Range Communications has recently released a public preview version of a new RSS newsreader for mobile devices with Java and we'd love some developer feedback.
The product is called FreeNews and is available at: http://www.freerangeinc.com/
With FreeNews, you set up your RSS feeds (news, blogs, stock quotes, company news, etc.) from our server via your desktop web browser. The server steps you through the setup process, or imports your OPML if you already have a feed list.
When you connect from the application on your mobile, only the new articles are pulled to your phone, making it extremely fast and efficient. I have about 50 websites that make up my feed list and my daily commute update takes less than 20 seconds total.
FreeNews also allows you to manage feeds from your phone, read full text of articles via a built-in text only browser, email articles, and change views and styles.
FreeNews is Java based and runs great on java based phones and PDA's (blackberry, Treo). It's in public preview right now and we'd love your feedback.
