malatesta: Probably the best RSS reader out there. I really like how configurable it is, especially being able to download pictures for the articles. The scheduler is a brilliant idea as now my Treo syncs itself in the morning for my train ride, all by itselt. Never had a reset with it..very stable.
mattdarby: Works very well, unless the feed source is down, then the download routine is thrown into a loop. A soft reset is the only way to kill it.
