PicoRSS

A new RSS news reader app from the maker of PicoMail. Search for news feeds by site name or choose from a list of  top feeds (CNN, Sports Illustrated, Engadget, etc.) or add a feed URL. Works well on my Motorola Rambler. Also works on the Motorola i776, although scrolling full stories is sluggish.
