    I feel like it's all sound bites and superficial stuff. Or if there's more interesting stuff, I tend to read it in a newspaper anyway. I have a weather app already, I have a check my flights thing, I have better ways to look for restaurants, I don't follow sports, I don't really care about entertainment news..... I know it's just me, my habits and tastes. But every time I download it and try to use it, I find it boring.

    So I'm curious what other people tend to use it the most for.
    What's a "newspaper"?

    A couple of times a week this folded mass of soft pulped wood arrives at my doorstep and I pick it up and gaze intently at the dark blotches that run in lines across it. Somehow, it all makes sense to me.

    well i think there are a lot of other ways now a days to get RSS. Lots of sites use twitter so all the updates are in one stream.

    I use to use this on WindowsMobile but ive found less use for it now that Ive gotten into Twitter, i get all my updates for crackberry, wmexperts, engadget, etc right in the one feed

    You have to set up twitter to allow the updates and add in the blogs and forums you want to follow.

    Ars Technica, Engadget, BoyGenius, BlackberryCool, PerezHilton, Crackberry Blogz, and 1up.com to name a few. It's BY FAR my most used app.

    It is only superficial if you either: 1. don't click to read the full article, which is the same article that would appear in a newspaper or 2. Only use superficial RSS sources.

    There is a wealth of news sources on the web from which to choose. I have UPI, Reuters, AP, my local newspaper, and many many more. I don't understand how it could be superficial. I am a new junkie and since I routinely travel worldwide, usually by ship, I love the fact I can get full news articles wherever I am. I use it at home as well.

    If you find it superficial you are doing it wrong.
