So funny, I've been hearing rumours about AvantGo supporting RSS like Russell has for quite some time too. Like him I was told not to blog it but I'm sure it wasnt the same person or group of people. Even without the heads-up, it was certain that AvantGo would have to do something at some point to stay relevent with the huge demand for RSS content on mobile devices. Is it enough to make me switch back to using AvantGo over PocketRSS? No. But is it good enough to recommend to others? Your damm right…

Nigal Crawley is looking for feedback on his BBC backstage prototype. Its a web client which will pull a RSS feed and display it as a neat little ticker type box. Just the kinda of thing our partners would love to see intergrated into there sites. I dropped Nigal a quick email asking if he's considered building a Widget out of it and if it would support multiple encodings and right to left languages like Persian and Arabic?
