I’m excited.

In that nerdy way.

I’ve been looking for a good RSS reader for my Smartphone, but hadn’t found anything until today. I’ve installed and uninstalled about five-hundred bajillion-million zillion apps since I started my search, but everything fell short.

Yesterday, out of pure geek frustration, I started coding the RSS reader for myself that I thought nobody else would produce.

A couple hours into it, I stumbled upon NewsBreak and had to deal with the reality that I could code for the next month straight and not come up with a reader as nice.

I have it installed in the 30 day demo mode right now, and I’m… happy.

I’ve been frustrated recently because I work with a few different machines on a regular basis, and I hate (HATE) having readers that are out of sync with each other, and I also don’t like the idea of an online reader because I like to have all of your stupid blogs with me even when I’m nowhere near a net connection (however, if you don’t mind a browser based solution for your Smartphone, you could follow Steve’s example).

What’s so great about having this stuff on my phone is that I can now take it all with me and catch up on my blog reading while waiting in line, riding in cabs, waiting for someone to post bail, and so on. I’ve missed out on huge chunks of activity in the blog world because I’ve been so dissatisfied with the multi-computer problem.

The one thing I’d change about NewsBreak is its lack of information about comments. Even if it isn’t going to download comments, I’d still like it to report on how many comments a particular post has. However, I’m willing to overlook this given how much bootay this app kicks in other areas.

So, yeah. Check it out: NewsBreak. Also available for PocketPC.

And, no - they aren’t paying me. I wouldn’t stop them if they tried, though. I’ve always wanted to sell out.
