I’m a big fan of web-based RSS readers but having tried NetNewsWire on the iPhone, I can understand why some people opt for a dedicated client on mobile devices. That said, I’m glad to report that NewsGator launched the iPad version of the application, which as you can presume, works even better than its iPhone counterpart, taking advantage of the bigger screen.
NetNewsWire for iPad rocks a new split-screen view that shows subscriptions on one side, with articles and web pages on the other — just like RSS readers do on your computer.
But it’s not just the new UI — apparently, the code has been rewritten from the ground up to better sing along iPad’s more powerful CPU (when compared to the one found in the iPhone 3GS).
The only problem may be the price. Apple made us cheap and at this point not many are used to paying 10 bucks for an RSS reader. Still, if you’re looking for a great app that will help you keep up with the daily news, NetNewsWire is probably one of the best software that does just that…

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.
