@Pat - I’ll look up how to make that icon!

I’m not so keen on offline RSS reading — rather save the articles themselves for offline reading. Too frustrating to see the feed and be unable to get the full article.

Twitterific is implemented beautifully, I agree. It work really well when you tap a URL — that impresses me heaps.

Mindy,

You can also make an icon for your Google Reader app and put it on your home screen.

All that is needed now is an offline mode for Google Reader (airplane use would be a biggie).

But the mobile Google Reader rocks. Twitterific is the best App, however.

The Washington Post Web app (not a standalone app) for iPhone is here:

The same thing is also here:

Thanks, Omar. That works really well. The AP app is a bit buggy, and the video is not very good quality.

The Al Jazeera video looks excellent on the iPhone.

Thanks, Jared — you’re right, that works very well. Also, you still get all the Safari features, like side rotation and pinch enlargement. Yay!

Mindy,
Google Reader doesn’t have an app but it does have a specific iPhone version. By going to http://www.google.com/reader/i/ on your iPhone you can see how great it is for viewing your items. It isn’t perfect but it’s better than zooming in and out all the time to navigate my feeds.
