Hi Rich -

FreeRange is currently beta testing a new version (Java and Blackberry only at the moment) that syncs with Google Reader. You can download the software OTA to your phone from http://f.mwap.at

Once you have an account, you can go to our server from your desktop, log in and select Google Reader as the management option. Enter your Google Reader username and password and they will be synced.

It’s not quite as tight an integration as NewsGator GO, but it’s great if you like Google Reader.

Thanks,

Jon Maroney

Thanks, Marc.

One thing I can say about Ilium Software. When they say they will listen, that is not just lip service. They really do a great job of paying attention to their customers and tailoring their programs to include the options their customers need most. I saw this with the jump from eWallet 4 to 5, and again with NewsBreak 2.0 which was released this week.

Ilium’s attention to their customers is second to none.

For those of you who want desktop sync, we hear you. It’s something we’re thinking very hard about over here so if you’ve got ideas, requests, or suggestions send em (support@iliumsoft.com)! We’ll listen!

There is a mobile version of Google Reader??

To be honest, Outlook 2007 has a great RSS reader. If Newsbreak would sync with that…that would be perfect.

I can’t live with a mobile RSS reader that doesn’t sync to my desktop subscriptions. If I read a feed in one place, I don’t want to reed the same entries in the other.

I use Google Reader, and though the mobile version is OK, what I really want is a native app that syncs with it.

Anyone solve this problem?

I’ll read this soon Patrick, but I really appreciate a review so soon after the release.
Not a lot of time now, but thanks!
