Red Herring Reader: The latest news from RedHerring.com on your Smartphone
The Red Herring Reader is a free application for your smartphone which allows you to read RSS feeds while you're on the go. Stay connected with your favourite blogs, news sources and other personal feeds. The Red Herring Reader features default channels like CNN.com, CNET News and USAToday – and of course the Red Herring RSS feed. You may add further RSS feeds to your set to personalize your information experience.
The Red Herring Reader can be used offline – for the busy people on the plane reading freshly downloaded news before hoping on the airplane for example.
Red Herring Reader gives you access to thousands of free RSS feeds. RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is a data format that delivers brief content pieces and headline news without graphical overhead for faster download.
Version 2.0
The just released version 2.0 adds exciting new features for making your RSS experience even better.
AutoSync: The AutoSync feature allows you to setup specific times for the news reader to sync automatically. For example, you can setup the AutoSync for 7:00 AM and you’ll have the latest news on your device when you take the subway for work.
The windows mobile versions allow an automatic synchronization when you plug-in your ActiveSync connection or connect to a WiFi network.
You’re always up to date without having to care about anything. AutoSync is set to 7:00 AM daily by default. You can disable the AutoSync feature on the settings menu screen.
Feed Catalogue: The feed catalogue makes it extremely easy for you to adjust the news reading experience to fit your needs and interests better. You can choose from a large number of feeds which are categorized by topic and ad them with only a few clicks. The unique feature of this list is that it's generated dynamically based on the most used feeds on our server.
