Here is a list of the RRS Feeds I use on a regular basis. I would love to use your product for this as it seems to be one of the best out there!

4WinMobile: http://www.4winmobile.com/news_rss.php
BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/front_page/rss091.xml
Brighthand: http://www.brighthand.com/feeds/rss.php
Engadget Mobile: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/rss.xml
PDAPhoneHome.com: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=169
Pocketmax: http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss

And of course!

http://solsie.com/?feed=rss2

:)

I view many more, but these are the ones I view the most lately!

Brian Neese August 1, 2006

And I forgot the reasons for them… I am a gadget geek! I love to keep up to date on all the products I use and the products that are coming out!

PDAPhoneHome.com is the best site for info and help on using PDA Phones. I have a samsung i730 through Verizon and without this site I would sent my device back the day I got it.

Pocketmax is the maker of PhoneAlarm which is a must have for any one using a phone enabled pocket pc.

Engadget Mobile, Brighthand and 4WinMobile are great sites to read updates on new mobile technology…

BBC News.. Even though its very slanted it helps me to find out what things are going on overseas…

Mike August 1, 2006

Favorite RSS feeds:

solsie.com – Great source of PPC tips, tricks and other related news.

aximsite.com – The definitive source for Dell Axim information.

engadget.com – Electronics news

woot.com – Deal-a-day

Ravi August 1, 2006
Ravi August 1, 2006

how do I give my email id?

Ravi August 1, 2006
Nowire August 1, 2006

First on my list is:

My local newspaper (breaking news) feed.
* I need this, since I’m always on the go.

Engadget / Engadget Mobile
*I’m a gadget geek – I need to be on top of new tech. toys.

CNet News
*I need to be fed with technology news

Aximsite
*If you love your Axim, this is the site for you. Although, they don’t have much news. It’s the forum that is kick @ss!

Solsie (of course)
*This site updates often and that’s what I like. I don’t like the constant “page not found” though… :(

JAMM (Just Another Mobile Monday)
*Another site I love for it’s content, and up-to-date mobile news, etc.

Pocketpcthoughts
*Nice variety, and frequent updates.

Yahoo News (Top Stories)
* Top stories from all over the world.

There’s a lot more, but this is I check often…

Good luck everyone!!!

Brandon August 1, 2006

BTW … why would we want to include the Solsie.com RSS Feed??? We all know its the ONLY (haha) way to see the website if your on your mobile!

SolSie August 1, 2006

Hey Brandon, you missed this: http://solsie.com/?p=519

Stefan August 1, 2006

My favourite feeds are:
first of all, my Gmail inbox. Gotta have that!
https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom

Then there are two news sites, but they’re in Dutch so less interesting (http://nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Algemeen and http://spitsnet.nl/RSS)

I also have the feeds from blogs of some of my friends (on Dutch blogs), and feeds to blogs relating to The Lost Experience, an Alternate Reality Game concerning the tv show Lost.

I’d love an RSS feed for the Lakeridge Software forums (Wisbar Advance 2), but that one isn’t supported anymore.

So I guess no feeds that a lot of people will use, but to me it really adds something to my PPC :)

Btw, I’ll be adding the Solsie feed now!

PocketChange (Joe) August 1, 2006

It is ironic to find this contest. I’ve been to Solsie’s site so many times in the past few weeks, because of many great things I keep finding here, that I just added the site to my rss a few days ago! This contest is just another example…

As for favorite feeds:

* Solsie’s site
(of course, reasons above)

* 4WinMobile
Great source of info and friendly users! Also the home of my PS support forum.

* AximSite
Having an x50v, AximSite has proven to be the best source of info for my device then any other place on the web!

* Local News Feed
Helps me keep up on local events, and weather!

>> Good luck to everyone, and keep up the great site, Solsie! :)

Brandon (aka Netsyd) August 1, 2006

Nope … I saw it. Read every word. I’m sticking with my “ONLY” way to read the site. Until you get us a truely mobile version!!! :angryface:

Just kidding Solsie – I know you work hard on keeping the site running (and its appreciated) – but I thought it would be fun to raz you a bit since you posted the alternative method earlier.

SolSie August 1, 2006

Hey Netsyd, unlike PatrickJ, who has lots of helpers…I am very short-handed..here!..Just try to keep my head above the water… ;-(

Nowire August 1, 2006

You guys should merge… ;)

Patrick and Solsie that is…

JAMM ‘IN SOLSIE.COM

w00t!

Brandon (aka Netsyd) August 1, 2006

Yea I know, and you do a heck of a job of it. I come here to get the news just like everybody else =)

Keep up the good work … like I said we all appreciate it.

kwsxwx August 1, 2006

Another wonder offer by Solsie. Thank you!

Your RSS feed is certainly one of my favourite. For the thems, techonology updates/reviews, and the wonder free giveaways !!!

Others include:

Neowin (http://www.neowin.net/backend.php?page=forum) – For desktop/software tweaking, software update, etc. It helps make my desktop looks a lot better.

Scientific American (http://www.sciam.com/page.cfm?section=rss) – For the Science & Technology development and updates.

Astronomy (http://www.astronomy.com/asy/rss/?sid=26) – One of favourite topic. As the name suggest, it gives insight on what is beyond the earth, and development in the space arena.

Engadget – For the technology update, and the rumours :)

Brighthand (http://www.brighthand.com/feeds/rss.php) – for technology update, reviews.

And several others including the BBC, CNET, CNN, Google News, Yahoo mainly for World/Local/Business lastest news.

Angelo August 2, 2006

First off, I think RSS is one of the best technologies invented to date.

As for my favorite RSS feeds, here are a few:

1.) SolSie’s Blog
2.) AximSite
3.) PocketPCThoughts
4.) WM5FixSite
5.) Gmail Inbox

I would add that they are in order of most favorite to least…but I wouldn’t want to sound like a suck-up to the others… =P

I would very much like to win because I currently utilize an RSS reader (Newsreader) than cannot handle podcasts and I have a long drive every day and this would be a tremendous enhancement to have RSS and Podcasts in one application. The redesigned Egress looks amazing!

thierryb August 2, 2006

I want to participate to the contest.

Scott August 3, 2006

Hi Solsie! I’m a feed addict. What does that mean? Well, I have sought out various RSS programs for my Dell Axim x51v. My current software is excellent and consistently feeds my rss appetite.

But what is this fantastic program you are revealing to me? I really like my current reader but this is different. Is it true that Egress will actually download podcasts? Ah, mine doesn’t. That would be totally cool. Even as I write this, I am installing Egress to my Axim.

There it is! I’ll check “automatically cache enclosures”. That should do it!

What do I read? Well, I’ll show you a “few”… teehee

brandon (aka Netsyd) August 3, 2006

Nowire – we are all winners in this life. LOL

As for the contest… not that I have heard. Solsie’s got stuff to do besides run this site (or atleast so he says), but I think that’s just an excuse – haha.

Nowire August 3, 2006

hehehe. Of course we are… but, I’m still feeling sad for not winning Fizzzzzz… lol….

Brian Neese August 3, 2006

I have really enjoyed the trial version. I hope I so that I can continue to use the product. Low on funds kinda sucks!

SuperFreak August 3, 2006

lol. I know that feeling.

SolSie August 3, 2006

Hi guys, I am so pleased with your awesome comments. I will certainly find time and compile all for a future post…. Thank you all for participating..You guys ROCK!
You can take a look at this PDA related RSS article, I posted while ago: http://solsie.com/?p=373

Watch for the next contest. The prizes will be 5 copies of DinarSoft’s TapText Utility…

PS: With my latest email ordeal, I am still working to get myself together…Karl, the author of Egress is taking some time off apparently. Please be patient… ;-) . Like last contest I am trying to negotiate with Karl to get to all non-winners some decent discount..But I don’t promise anything yet until Karl is back. The winners will be notified shortly.
Your trial should work fine for few more days ;-)

SolSie

SuperFreak August 3, 2006

Ravi August 4, 2006

been trying for the last two days and it is very cool, especially for the podcasts, which I listen to a lot.

Brian Neese August 4, 2006

Yeah I have never used podcasts either until using egress… It so so cool. I to http://www.walkintheword.com/podcast.xml
and downloaded some of them. They were awesome!

SolSie August 4, 2006

Sorry for the wait. I finally caught up with Egress’s author, the winners will be announced this morning!…
