Ilium Software, the company that has brought you popular software titles like eWallet and ListPro has just released NewsBreak 1.0. Basically, it is an RSS client, but it is one of the smoothest and most feature rich for the Pocket PC that I've seen.
Features include:
• Scheduled updates or update whenever a network connection is noticed
• Watches for keywords can be set
• Notifications for new posts or just new items that match your keyword watches
• One tap ability to email URLs to others
• Categorize channels
• Import and Export of OPML
The application itself takes approximately 450K on the device and runs from a storage card. Obviously it will need additional room for channels, but RSS feeds are generally very small. It is $14.99 and there is a fully functional 30 day trial available.
