Google Reader for iPhone (Beta), Another Great Application

May 13, 2008


Google Reader for iPhone BetaTo make Reader iPhone even better, Google took advantage of the device’s capabilities and released a new beta version designed for the iPhone and other mobile phones with advanced browsers. Google Reader is a Web-based application, capable of reading Atom and RSS feeds online or offline.

Whether a site updates hourly, daily or monthly, you can be sure that you won’t miss a thing. Google Reader constantly checks your favorite news sites, such as Palluxo!, for new content. Furthermore, this application shows you all of your favorite sites in one convenient place. It’s like a personalized inbox for the entire web. It works on any mobile phone browser, so you can access your favorite news anywhere and anytime. You can use Google Reader by visiting www.google.com/reader/i/ on your iPhone. Palluxo! feed is located at www.palluxo.com/feed/.

According to Google, 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. As Google Reader blog explains:

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.

“Since it’s still in beta, we’re not going to automatically send you to it, so bookmark the site so that you don’t forget the address,” Google said. “We love getting feedback from users, so let us know what you think in our discussion group.”

Recently, Google made its traditional iPhone interface available in over 30 different countries and 15 different languages. With Google Apps you can access your most used Google services and boost your productivity on the go.
