Bloglines has created the “Ultimate Pro” edition of iBloglines for the iPhone audience. It’s got added functionality like a “pin” to save posts or feeds until you’re on the fixed Web, the ability to e-mail articles, search for content, auto-refresh, personalized preferences and it automatically hides images to compensate for EDGE’s slogginess.
I swear by Bloglines, and am happy to see any sort of mobile version. But it does hurt just a bit that Bloglines actually took away functionality from its simple mobile feeds a while back. It now takes at least three clicks to get to your feeds. And even with EVDO speeds, that’s still a timely process. The rest of the features — save the auto refresh function — still exist in the basic mobile version. But we at Mobile Crunch feel like we’re using the Web version on our Blackberry, when the iPhone is more capable of sizing down Web pages to the big, small screen. Please Bloglines, bring back (and enhance) a mobile version.
I’m confused. I read the mobile bloglines on my WM5 smartphone just fine. I do have to load one launcher page and click “my feeds” but after that I’m ready to go. What are you asking bloglines to bring back?
Same here. With all the lavish praise google reader gets, it’s not even worth considering as a mobile user. I’ve been mobile for over a week and keeping up just fine with my Sidekick and Bloglines.
