Yahoo Debuts Wireless RSS Reader
I gotta try this out. Scott Gatz, senior director of Yahoo personalization, tells JD Lasica that My Yahoo! RSS is now available on any WAP 2.0 cell phone browser...
We just publicly launched a feature on Yahoo! Mobile for users to get their RSS feeds from MyY! on their mobile phone (all wap 2.0 devices). You just go to mobile.yahoo.com on your phone (or access Yahoo from your provider's menu) and then click on "News" and then "My Headlines."
It's all part of our goal to extend the work we've done with RSS beyond the desktop. It's free for everyone, and anyone can access it on any carrier. We tried to keep it simple. You can read the articles and summaries right on the phone and if you have a HTML phone you can even click through to the blog/news site to get the whole story.
Nice, but I still prefer Bloglines mobile.

I believe that Newsgator has a mobile RSS reader as well.

Yes, Newsgator does. It's not bad either but so far I agree Bloglines is the best. Has anyone tried the CNET/Feedburner mobile RSS reader?

Oh, and I remember reading that AOL was supposedly unveiling a mobile RSS reader also.

If you're looking for a complete online newsreader and mobile RSS solution check out www.litefeeds.com
The service pushes cached, compressed, & stripped feeds to a J2ME mobile app that synchs with your online subscriptions.

I agree Bloglines is one of the best free newsreader. FreeNews is also great, better than Bloglines in fact. Gonna purchase it asap. It can download the full stories on my SonyEricsson T630, which Bloglines can't. Also tried Litefeeds on numerous occasions, but it just doesn't work on my mobile.
