Helllo,

I was wondering if there is a news program that could grab the headlines every morning and download them to the PDA?

I have done a bit of searching but can't seem to find much.

Does anyone know or use a program like this?

mdigger, hubdog, mobipocket, weberoo, avantgo, or rss readers such as newsbreak

Which one would you say is the best? I have Mobipocket but it just seems... All over the place and not very "clean" or user-friendly so to speak.

I use 2 programs.

News Break works great for grabbing just headlines and POD casts. It has a feature that will update itself. I set it to update new headlines every 3 hours.

Egress is able to grab the headlines and automatically grab the whole story, but it doesn't seem to update itself automatically. I manually run this in the morning.

Journal Bar use to have a great program to do this, but the author is have stability issues with the code. I am hopeful that in a year or so, it will be straightened out. If you try Journal Bar, proceed with extreme caution.

Pocket RSS is an amazing program! Give the trial a shot.

Journal Bar automatically downloads whole news articles for off-line reading. You have to use selections from the program's default list, but it includes the New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and BBC. Good reading!

I also like Journal Bar, but it has become very unstable for some users, including me.

This is the link to the offical Journal Bar support fourm Viewing a forum - Journal Bar Please review.

Make sure to use the full Journal Bar Trial.

I didn't like these only giving the start of the stories, but the latest version of Newsbreak downloads podcasts. I'm evaluating this to buy the upgrade from the previous version, and like what I see so far.
Newsbreak downloads the start of articles fine, but if you want the whole story you need to have on-line access (which I don't have at work).

Also, Newsbreak is a pretty good price for the features it offers.
