REVIEW: Press (RSS Reader)

We have all seen the RSS readers out there, I know I have gone to one on my phone and deleted it a week later because it didn’t have Google syncing or deleted it because it didn’t auto populate my feeds even though it did have Google account sync. Sometimes the UI just isn’t up to par and sometimes it just isn’t easy to navigate. I know everyone has preferences and there are some out there reading this that think I am crazy because they love their specific third party RSS reader, which is fine.

My preference and recommendation is Press. This reader is not only beautiful but also easy to navigate and understand, they integrated the holo UI into it and it works well. This is one of the applications people talk about when you talk about Android done correctly. When it comes to voting for a great third party application for RSS readers, I choose this one.

Give the images a look and see what I am talking about, from things like marking all as read to starring, it all looks amazing, it is easy to come back and find what has been read, what is starred as important and what is read already (as it has been cleared off).

My Week with a Palm Pre: Day 3-4

So I am rounding up on day 3 and 4, yesterday was a bit drab with the phone, you don't always get to power through a day and get crap done, but here we are, end of day 4 and I have decided that it is still a cool phone. I am still taking in a lot of the features, I miss the 5 mp camera that a lot of phones come with, also found myself searching for the front camera that does not exist on this device, didn't think I missed it, didn't think I could miss it! I thought I never used it!

I am still thinking that I will be upgrading to WebOS version 2 and do another week of webOS but that probably will not be for a few weeks, I want to use this phone and get the most out of it before I potentially ruin it by bricking it. I do not think this will happen, there are instructions despite them being a bit old.

I still really like a lot of webOS features, this phone acts new despite being from 2009, it does not feel like an aging droid 1 or other phones from that era. It kind of acts fast, I finally see what people meant by it works really well with multitasking. Really well, I can either get rid of items or keep them stored in a card. This is sort of like the Android way to do it, but it is a tad different. I like it.

I know these write ups are not long, but this is an old extinct OS, and I just want to put a few things down to let people know what I think of something that clearly shows how Android will be, and kind of where it came from.
