RSS Readers for the iPhone/iTouch

Looking for a RSS Reader for your iPhone/iTouch?

At least 4 Readers [Free & Pay] can be found on the iTunes App Store.

In February 2009, GearDiary did a review on the RSS Reader Google Sync

To find the different readers open up iTunes, scroll down and click on the Apps Store and then in the Search iTunes Store field at the upper right corner of the iTunes window enter RSS Reader and press the Enter/Return key. You will then have several applications you can review and try many free and many pay. If you are a heavy RSS Reader you might want to consider the paid apps as they are likely to be more robust and give you a better viewing experience. However, before you buy anything be sure to read the reviews.

If Google is your primary RSS Reader Account on your desk/laptop you might want to look at Ebisu Soft’s RSS Flash g application. Released June 15, 2009, this iPhone/iTouch RSS Reader allows you to pick up, on your portable device, where you left off reading on your computer. It will allow you to read offline as well. All you iTouch owners will be able to read those RSS feeds you've already downloaded offline when you don’t have a WiFi connection. RSS Flash g normally sells for $4.99, but is on sale for $2.99 on the App Store until June 30, 2009.

The iPod Touch as a Vibration Sensor

I've been experimenting with my noisy window air conditioner, trying to reduce vibration by adding supports and accoustic insulation.  I was looking for a better way to pinpoint from where on the chassis the vibrations were coming. PACS Windows SIG

Well... "There's an App for that!"

I knew my iPod Touch was a really neat gadget, but I never thought I'd be using it as a vibration monitor! 

If you have a Touch or an iPhone, check out the Apps Store for "iSeismometer" (Free) or, if you need more intricate data analysis, try iSeismograph ($.99).
