NewsBreak 2.0

Mobile RSS reader

May 16, 2007 6:53:41 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

A few weeks ago I obtained a new phone from Sprint since my contract was expiring. They gave me a great deal on a Motorola Q, which happens to be my first "smart phone". I have spent the last couple of weeks trying out many different applications for Windows Mobile, and one of them I wanted to share.

I find myself always needing to know the latest headlines, whether it’s tech news, or just local news, and after checking out a few applications this one made it to the top of the list very easily.

NewsBreak 2.0

With NewsBreak you can read RSS feeds, listen to your favorite podcasts, watch vidcasts, and more. NewsBreak has a decent list of feeds included, but it also uses Microsoft Live Search to find new feeds, or you can enter them manually if you choose to do so. During my evaluation I searched for a wide range of RSS feeds and had very little difficulty finding them through the search.

One of my favorite features is the ability to setup notifications of stories that interest you through matching keywords. NewsBreak is available for Windows Mobile Pocket PC’s and Smartphones. Check out their website for more detailed information.

If you need a feature packed RSS reader for your mobile phone, NewsBreak is highly recommended.

I've been thinking about getting a Motorola Q, I'm a noob when it comes to smartphones/pda's, etc.
Since you own one, can you tell me if you can sync up your mail from your pc with it. (ex. outlook 2003 on my desktop), does it have a mail client similar to Outlook?

Yes, you can use ActiveSync to sync up mail, calendars, contacts, etc.  It uses Windows Mobile 5, and there is an Outlook mail with it.  I also use Gmail with it.
