Google announced that it has released a new version of the Google Reader for iPhone. Still in beta, it promises to deliver much better, more desktop-like experience to the Apple handset owners.
This new version is designed to offer many of the same features as the desktop, while making it quick and easy to act on items. If you’ve used list view, then it should be familiar to you. Scan the titles for an item that interests you, tap and it expands in place. Starring, sharing, and keeping unread are done in place, so you never have to leave the list view or refresh the page. We think it’s a very fast way to power through your reading list.
In related news, the updated Google Reader works well with the Nokia Internet Tablet devices. Jonathan Greene of Featured Maemo Apps posted a short video showing the new GReader in “N810 action.”
Again, the new Google Reader for iPhone is still in beta, hence you won’t be redirected there automatically. You’ll have to visit www.google.com/reader/i/ from a browser and eventually bookmark it.
