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.

Ben,
I'm a novice when it comes to RSS. It would seem that RSS updates are usually sent to your iTunes library. Then, the user would pick them up when they sync their iPhone/Touch.
I would like to just be able to pull updates into my Touch with WiFi, without going through iTunes.
Are you familiar with Podcaster? Is this program cabaple of doing that?

I just purchased RSS Podcaster from the Apple APPS Store for 99 cents.
It does exactually what I wanted. I found that there are lots of Podcast readers available, but they have to retrieve the file from a "Podcatcher" program like iTunes. With RSS Podcaster I don't have to go through iTunes to receive the latest podcasts.
There has been some controversy with this program in the past. Apparantly Apple wants everyone to go through iTunes to retrieve RSS. However, RSS Podcaster is still available, and for 99 cents, it's worth a try.
