I am using this way because it is a freeware and we are interested in user reactions to build the commercial version as good as possible. Resco Neeews! is an rss reader. Here are the features that distinguish current release from other rss readers: It's free with no limitations. It's nice (certainly nicer than other Resco apps or rss readers I know) It's less technical than the other rss readers. In fact I would say that it can be used without any technical know-how at all. It's fast. Rendering is fast. But most importantly the download is faster than the other rss readers we tested. (It is not only the question of speed - it means first of all savings on the download data.) Testing and getting the basic impression is a matter of seconds. Everything is prepared, you need just a few clicks. You can create your favorite newspaper (in technical terms: select the feeds and setup a few options) and make it accessible directly from the Palm Launcher. There can't be easier access. Over 500 high quality feeds that are so diverse that everybody will find something. The product is available at the Resco web site We shall be happy to receive any comments or suggestions.

Only remarks so far: scrolling pages with the TH55 jog dial is slow, and there should be an option to disconnect when data is retrieved and the wifi link is not used by another program (like HiRes 4cast does). And support for Netfront would be nice too ;-) __________________ Samsung Galaxy Note 2

PinCushionQueen Oxidants happen. Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Seattle Posts: 1,437	Very Nice!! I would second the request for 320x480. And would like to make a request to add the ability to select particular feeds that will download full articles. I would like this on a per feed basis - most of the feeds are fine just reading the headline and the blurb but I have a couple of feeds that I consistantly want to read the full articles. It would be nice if those articles were automatically downloaded when the feeds were in the early morning so that I can read them on the bus. I suppose this request is more for non-Treo users since they can get the full article anytime. I use a TX. __________________ Palm TX + 2 Gb UltraII SD When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true.

I definitely agree with the other request for 320x480 support. Here are the other request I feel can enhance this reader. 1. Support for Small Fonts (though I now use FontSmoother) 2. Flag Articles and a toggle to only see Flagged articles from all channels. 3. Ability to toggle image view on and off on the fly 4. Preference for DIA status and orientation at startup eg Landscape + fullscreen 5. Ability to export article to Memos 6. Select which external store eg LD's SD or MD 7. Option to choose browser of choice (I use Xiino) These are just some features that come to mind. It would be great if this app also support Icon Packs eg those of ZLauncher etc, though not high on the priority list I suppose. Thanks for making this beta available to all. __________________ Kenny Song Treo 680 + 8GB SDHC<LifeFlash+4GB SD< Palm<Clie<Prism<Palm<Newton<Sharp Last edited by KenSong : 12-24-2006 at 01:40 AM.

Doufam ze to umi i japonstinu a korejstinu. Pak by to byl ten nej prohlizec pro PALM If it remains freeware even in full version (no beta), then it will be great. But, does it support Unicode, especialy diacritical marks?Also I hope it supports Korean and Japanese as well. Then it would be the best RSS reader for PALM OS Last edited by jacktalking : 12-24-2006 at 01:47 AM.

KenSong Registered User Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Penang, Malaysia Posts: 630	One thing nice I found about this app is that you can view your news while it is actually still downloading feeds. And Janos is right, this is faster than QuickNews when it comes to downloading articles, though QN has an advantage in it's ability to hotsync news over which is always faster than wireless on the handheld. Ability to sync news on a Mac or PC would be a great addition. __________________ Kenny Song Treo 680 + 8GB SDHC<LifeFlash+4GB SD< Palm<Clie<Prism<Palm<Newton<Sharp

KenSong Registered User Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Penang, Malaysia Posts: 630	Okay, gave it a thorough run and noticed it has problems redrawing image heavy feeds like Engadget. I get a NoFreeRsrc error. Quicknews had no issues with this feed so I presume RN may be downloading the Image cache to RAM to redraw? __________________ Kenny Song Treo 680 + 8GB SDHC<LifeFlash+4GB SD< Palm<Clie<Prism<Palm<Newton<Sharp

alegra TamsPalm Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 281	It's a public beta, no freeware (I think it will become a commercial product). And I'm sure they will add 320x480 support and much more. I downloaded it yesterday and I like it. There are features of an RSS reader I see the first time.

Arc Light Registered User Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 88	Hello all, Is this meant to run on a T3 over wifi. I can't seem to update the default feeds. If I attempt to connect to the net with my wifi card, then the program will not open because it can't find my sd card (wifi card is currently in the sd slot). If I try to first open the program, then swap my sd card for my wifi card, as soon as i attempt to update the feeds it leaves the program and goes to my wifi prefs to connect, Once connected the program will not open because it can't find my sd card. Endless cycle? I think this program will be great, but technically I need some help from other 1Src's. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!!!
