A couple of new, very impressive ROME apps have been announced over the last few days.

Firstly, there was OpenVision TV's new I/ON Internet Video Console, which looks to be a very nice movie player that allows you to subscibe to movie channels.

Secondly, it was announced that the Beta My AOL feeds uses ROME. Currently the UI for this seems to be a little buggy (I can't add a new feed to it for instance), but when it works it is really, really good. Without a doubt it is a better aggregator than Google's iGoogle page or Yahoo's MyYahoo (which are both really only suitable for traditional news headlines). It would be better to compare it with MSN's Start.com, which is actually usable as a proper aggregator.
