Bigger and Better: PocketRSS 2.0.16 Released
Posted by Darius Wey in "SOFTWARE" @ 10:15 PM
"PocketRSS is a Today Screen plugin and stand-alone application which allows a quick and easy method of displaying various types of RSS/OPML compliant data on your Today Screen. It does require a connection to the Internet from the Pocket PC, but is designed to still function while offline. It is designed to be used with any of the many hundreds of RSS/OPML webdata sources available in the public domain. This way the user will have access to RSS-formatted news, sports, weblogs, etc. Whatever RSS/OPML compliant data you can find, PocketRSS will display it for you on your Pocket PC."
HappyJackRoad have just released a major update to PocketRSS. You'll notice many changes since Version 1.x. Features include:
supported integration with PocketBreeze
database storage for faster feed response
simple feed content management
namespace/xml mapping feature for advanced users
custom view modes
feed wizard support
stylus-free viewing support (D-pad optimised)
feed item controls
the ability to download full article links for offline viewing
the ability to download audio content (i.e. podcasting)
support for WM2003SE landscape mode (and VGA)
improved network connections
a new user interface
PocketRSS is available from Handango for $5.00, and upgrades from Version 1.42 are free using the developer's new registration system. HappyJackRoad have stated that PocketRSS 2.0 will not be made available at Handango until January 3, 2005. This will allow you to take advantage of the $5.00 offer on Version 1.42 and still be eligible for the free upgrade to Version 2.0. If you're looking to sample the software first, you may download the desktop installer here or the CAB installer here. [Affiliate]
