SPB Software has released SPB News 2.0, which was formerly known as SPB Insight. Touted as an “intelligent news reader,” the application is an easy to use RSS reader for Windows Mobile smartphones.
As you’re probably already aware what an RSS reader app should do, I’ll skip that part, and we’re going straight to the features:
- New touch-oriented user interface
- Gestures support for quick switching between articles
- Automatic/scheduled updates
- Smart scrolling in articles
- Easy subscription to more than thousands news feeds in an array of categories
As for compatibility, SPB News 2.0 works on Windows Mobile 5 and latter devices, and both touch and non-touch enabled phones are supported. The application costs $19.95, and a free 15-day trial is also available. Finally, existing SPB Insight owner can upgrade at no extra charge…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
