Finally, the Reader SDK is out ... From the windowsclient site

"These Syndicated Client Experiences applications exploit the push capabilities of RSS in a model where each application retains full control over the presentation of the content. The Sync Framework and sync service take care of syncing, caching, subscription management and the safe caching of authentication credentials. These services are designed to help publishers focus on what matters to them most: providing differentiated content experiences with very rich content, branding, skinning and custom user interface elements for an optimal end-to-end user experience"

You can now create rich applications like the below very easily... :) ...you can download the msdnreader here

"Included in this SDK:

• Visual Studio and Expression projects
  • Sample Generic Reader (complete end to end sample, full source code)
  • MSDN Reader (application, feed and full sample source code)
  • Reader Quick Start wizard
  • Photos: a simple sample demonstrating a syndicated photo experience (full sample source code)
• An integrated branded boostrapper for .Net 3.0 deployment and app installation via Click-Once
• Content Sync Extensions for RSS 2.0 for rich, nested, authenticated feeds
• SCE sync service and desktop UI redistributable components "
