Attention, mobile RSS junkies. Google’s released a new iPhone-specific version of its Google Reader feed reader. The new version which, unsurprisingly, is in beta, is supposed to bring many of the features available in desktop browsers: you can star items, share them with others, and mark them as unread, and navigate your subscriptions via folders. They also claim to have tuned it for better speed performance.
I’m not a regular Google Reader user, but I had at some pointed imported a bunch of my subscriptions into it, so I fired up the new version to see what the haps was (were?). At the moment, since it’s in beta, you’ll specifically need to point your iPhone to http://www.google.com/reader/i/ in order to check it out.
The speed on EDGE wasn’t super fast—something I might chalk that up to my volume of feeds/unread items—but it was certainly usable. If only it synced with NetNewsWire, I could imagine using it as for all my iPhone feed-reading needs.
