iPhone and iPod Touch users should be quite pleased with Google’s recent announcement of its new, fully supported RSS reader, Google Reader, to the mobile Safari browser. The service says it is still in beta, but it seems to be
working very well. While the native attempt at Google Reader actually worked quite well, there is nothing like the real thing.
The application looks to bring a desktop Google Reader experience to the mobile Safari browser. As the reader’s official blog states: “This new version is designed to offer many of the same features as the desktop, while making it quick and easy to act on items. If you’ve used list view, then it should be familiar to you. Scan the titles for an item that interests you, tap and it expands in place. Starring, sharing, and keeping unread are done in place, so you never have to leave the list view or refresh the page. We think it’s a very fast way to power through your reading list.”
To access the new Google Reader, just visit http://www.google.com/reader/i/ on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Again, the service is still in beta, and you will not be redirected to that page just by visiting Reader, so bookmark it for future use. Check out iPhone Buzz’s article for more details.
