depending on where u located (news wise) there r some sites that are optimized for the iphone that will let u view on the storm (sites that disable the zoom, making it easier to read and navigate)
below r some examples: (open via bb storm browser)

CBS News Mobile

NewsOK

FOX News - Home

ESPN Home (sports/news)

probably other sites too

I use the AP Mobile app from AppWorld. Gives a pretty nice array of coverage from local to world, entertainment, sports, tech, etc.

Used to go with Viigo. Then turned to Google reader, but I'm sold on Unread now. Great little app.

I tried a few including AP Mobile but ended up only keeping Thomas Reuters.

It works fast at retrieving news reports and let's you add your own RSS feeds. I added the RSS feed to my local newspaper. You can let it run resident and get alerts pushed to your phone or only launch it when you want to look up news as needed.
Well orgainezed in to tabs for Top News/World/Politics/Sports/Entertainment for General News / Business News / Markets/ My Stocks / My Feeds

Launch your GPS app and have it find the nearest newstand. HA HA HA...I'm cracking myself up.

On a serious note, there are 2 surefire ways you can go blind:

1. Trying to read a ton of tiny print on a tiny screen.
2. Masturbation...wait...I can't see anymore.......HELP!!!!!!!
