Robert, I blogged about Windows Mobile 6 some time ago and to mind, the one thing it really should have is RSS support.

With RSS support you could use it as an iPod replacement and you could have a feed reader on the go.

Am I missing something obvious (wouldn't be the first time!)?

Hi Tom, because the Compact Framework includes very strong support for XML processing, it's quite easy to build applications for the Windows Mobile platform that handle RSS feeds. In fact, I've done it myself!

One example of a popular feed reader that runs on the Windows Mobile platform is Newsgator: http://www.newsgator.com/NGOLProduct.aspx?ProdID=NewsGator+Mobile

Newsgator can even synchronize your posts (including their read/unread status) with the feed reader on your PC.

Tom, just curious; when you find that something in one of your posts is inaccurate or misleading, would you consider editing those posts with an [Update:]?

Are you saying that as part of the beta WM6 team you were using WM6 on a HTC Wizard? I'm only asking because I REALLY want to upgrade my Cingular 8125 to WM6. I've been waitign for ANY news on an upgrade path.

I love my Windows Mobile device. In fact, I love it so much, that when I had a chance to buy a Zune last week in Seattle, I didn't take it. My PocketPC does it all, and more. The model I have is the HTC Wizard 100 , which is pictured here; it's a Pocke
