RSS on Handspring

April 22, 2005 9:17 AM

I have an old Handspring Deluxe. While it doesn't seem at all deluxe these days, it does most of what I ask of it. One bit still baffles me though. I want to take my RSS feeds on the road with it. Here's how I envision this working. I have a Bloglines account. Since I doubt this will be able to directly provide content for my Palm OS device, I'll take the OPML file and pull it into some locally installed aggregator software. Then when I hotsync, my handheld will pull down unread articles. I don't really care if it categorizes articles, though that would be nice. I don't want the hotsync to mark transferred articles as read. Can this be done? How?

You might want to try mobilerss.net. They use AvantGo to suck in RSS feeds for PDAs.

What if you aggregated RSS feeds using Kinja or whatever, then used Plucker to grab the page?

Thank you for asking this question--it's another case of someone else asking the *exact question* I was going to ask.

Related, is that FeedDemon (Windows-only, bummer) can sync with bloglines in this way, but I too want it for my Palm.
