Today I got some time to test 3 Mobile RSS Readers on my Nokia 6630. I have Mobile Office from Airtel which is not the fastest GPRS in the world(They charge me rs.399 per month for this 🙁 .. even Hutch’s 49 bucks a month is cheaper )

But Hutch connectivity at my area is pathetic.. so i am forced to stick to airtel..

Back to business .. I tested three apps ..

1. The FeedBurnerâ„¢ Mobile Feed Reader

This is a free J2ME RSS Reader from Feedburner.

  • Supports feeds in all major formats (RSS, RDF, and Atom)
  • Smart “If-Modified-Since” content retrieval conserves your wireless bandwdith
  • Adjustable content retrieval count (i.e., retrieve only the 5 most recent items to save time/bandwidth) cuts download time and clutter
  • Opens original content links in your handset’s default web browser
  • Updates feeds manually or on a set schedule
  • Displays content in several font sizes
    Download here

The app is quite slow and sluggish in operation . But the features are amazing.. Try it out urself..

2.Plusmo

Plusmo is still in beta and looks promising .. Took a lot of time to open up.. Going to try it when i get the time. Needs you to register .. can also do that from ur mobile

3. Litefeeds

Requires you to signup and also is nice to use..

Will keep you posted after i test all the 3 apps fully
