Official iPhone RSS reader?

Just when we were wondering how will users read the RSS feeds on their iPhones, it seems that Apple 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’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? I certainly hope it is. That would mean complete synchronization of mobile and desktop Google Reader experiences. :)

    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 :)
