 |  Auto-Updating RSS Apps... Hey all, I think it's a good time to revisit this... I have been using NewsBreak for an RSS reader, and it's great... The main feature that I love it the auto-update option - this will download full articles and pictures automatically... Recently, i found out about Spb Insight which has a MUCH better interface than NewsBreak - but surprisingly, DOES NOT auto update unless you are using WiFi, or docked in the cradle... How crippling is that? I mean, that like buying a Corvette that can only drive at night... Weird! Anyone know of any decent RSS readers that AUTO update on the Q? I Hope this helps others as well... Thanks, Matt! |

| Tree, Thanks - I'll check it out... I love the Insight reader, because it assigns icons to each channel according to the images within - pretty neat. I was hoping there was an update.exe or something that I could set to auto run once an hour using a scheduler program, but no such luck.. I'll check your idea out... Thanks again, Matt! |

| I do like Spb...I use their GPRS data monitor. And the icon thing does does look cool! $20 bucks...I'll stick with free!! Viigo, does have the option for Auto Update Feeds. It can be set for 100-1000 articles every 1-24 hours. But your point..not sure if it updates over EVDO also. |

Viigo does auto update over EVDO-- and it is pretty damn sweet! One tip though... I noticed that the the feeds were in a "desktop" mode, so i had to constantly scroll to read everything -- then i noticed how the window resembled PIE... SOOoo, i went into PIE and changed it to "one column" and bingo! Problem solved... Could get annoying if i change that a lot -- but no biggie... **EDIT** Uh-oh... It looks like Viigo doesn't have the option to store on teh SD card... Even if it's installed there... That's not too hot! Thanks, Matt! Last edited by KillerQ; 11-21-2007 at 04:15 PM. | |

Hehe... I am still here.. I had trial for work, so there was a lot of prep -- and work has been extra busy otherwise as well.... Plus, my wife and I bought each other a Wii for Christmas, and already opened it... So I have been scrounging around the Wii forums... We are NOT gamers at ALL, but this Wii kicks ass!!!! I have also been trying to ween off the computer a bit too... I don't want to be "that guy!" I will be back soon -- :o) Thanks for thinking of me... Matt! | |
