Can anyone recommend a good news reader?

Hello All
I have an AXIM 51v and have been using Spb Insight as my news reader. It works OK but most of the feeds are just headlines and then you have to connect to read the entire article. Is this the RSS feed or a limitation of Insight. Normally I am no where near a wireless connection so I would like to find an application thats compatible with the AXIM that will download the entire article.

Thanks!

I haven't used it, but Microsoft is making Viigo available for free.

Viigo is best, by far.

It is not made by MS, though.

Actually, Spb INsight is your best bet for what you want to do. Spb Insight is much more than an RSS feed reader. Check out the forum at Spb Club. Essentially, with Insight you canconstruct templates which will download the entire news story to you device. Building a template can be trickym but there are quite a few available at spbclup and Insight - Welcome to Insight - Your Single Source Provider of IT Products and Services

Mobipocket, is free and includes a great Reader that downloads the entire article (if that's how the article is set up). Some authors who use RSS feeds do not post their entire article to the feed because they want you to go to their blog to read the article.

I use MDigger and AvantGo and like both. Looks like I'll have to try Viigo.

Avantgo is great with only a few glitches here an there (mainly on the dialup side.). Newsgator fairly expensive but a good rss.

Thanks will give it a try!

I like Insight but couldnt figure out why some feeds would down load the entire artical but other wouldnt.

Viigo sounds interesting may have to give it a try also.
