Official iPhone RSS reader?

Just when we were wondering how will users read the RSS feeds on their iPhones, it seems that Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) has made its own online RSS reader available. I say “it seems” as we don’t have an official word from Cupertino – rather the URL (http://reader.mac.com/) suggests that the RSS reader is the real deal. Plus, it’s not visible on any other browser except the iPhone’s Safari — I’ve tried with Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s Safari-based S60 browser and it doesn’t work as well.

Now, let me speculate for a moment. Is this the product of cooperation between Apple and Google (NSDQ: GOOG)? I certainly hope it is. That would mean complete synchronization of mobile and desktop Google Reader experiences. :)

    If you enable the Developer menu in Safari (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030110063041629) and set the User Agent to Mobile Safari (either iPhone or iPod Touch), you can load the page. It gives instructions how to load an RSS feed: “If you’d like to view an RSS feed, just enter the feed URL directly into Safari’s address bar.”

    all you need to do is write down the url of the rss feed u like in the iphone’s safari address bar and it automatically forwards to the mac reader and gives u yr rss feed in an iphone optimized view.. all u need to do is just save this as a bookmark.. works like a charm :)
