WP7 Google RSS reader – My RSS Reader

by Saijo George on July 31, 2010

in News

If you are like me then you have alot of RSS feed in your Google Reader Account and now with My RSS Reader app for WP7 by sjarawan from youtube you will be able to enjoy your feeds on WP7.

According to the developer you can manage your feeds ( which includes adding new feeds, move feeds to new or existing folders and even unsubscribe from existing fees ). Feeds are downloaded which will enable users to perform offline reading. Feed items can be twittered, sent to Instapaper, Read it Later, email or open the drill into links inside the app or launch the browser. You can also view the live feed to see items you may have already marked as read. There is also support to “favorite” an item or share an item with Google Reader. Google Reader Starred, Shared & Notes are available but can be hidden from the settings menu.

thetilt This is just a quick one about an idea that’s been going around in my head for the past week or so.

Now, I code in c# but I am by no means an expert, actually I am still very much a beginner considering how huge the world of programming can get & there is no way on earth I could figure out how to test this Idea. Still, I wanted to share this little ‘epiphany’ I had.

What are the Apps you would use on your WP7 ?

by Saijo George on July 30, 2010

in News

WP7 Apps and ( lets not forget WP7 games ) are popping up every where ( granted they are tech demos on emulator n all, but I have to say there seems to be strong developer interest in the platform ). So I am pretty sure there will be quite a lot of apps and games ready for launch. I have seen some amazing demos ( some of which I can talk about just yet ) and they are quite amazing.

Every one will have some favorite apps that they use often. So my question to you folks is

? What are the Apps you would use on your WP7 ? ( 3rd part apps , not stock stuff )

Few things that I would use quite often will be ( any developers working on these feel free to drop us a line )

  • Some kind of Google Analytics Client
  • Melbourne Tram / Train App
  • Twitter Client
  • Something to keep track of my bills
  • Some nice RSS Reader

Currently those are the most used apps on my iPhone.

Windows Phone 7 has no support for PDF ?

WP7_zip

WP7_zip


In a recent PocketNow article they got a tip saying WP7 can open up zip files from a webpage and you can view the content in the zip file.

Windows Phone 7 emulator is actually able to open ZIP files that you may click on from a website. A window will appear asking if you want to open the Zip file, then a new window will show the contents of the Zip file. If any of the files are of formats that are supported by the operating system, you’ll be able to open those as well.

But they also state that WP7 will not support PDF at launch, now that is disappointing. What do you guys think ?
