Staying in touch with the rest of the world and getting latest updates on emerging technology is almost a requirement for many mobility users these days. If you deal in stocks, you need to get updated with the changing prices of your portfolios so that you can keep your investments safe. Or if you are a traveler you might want to know what is going in the part of the world you are traveling in. With the evolution of internet, getting the latest news updates is easier than ever and you don't have to stay glued to your television set to stay in touch with the rest of the world. RSS readers enable you to access the latest news updates with a single click.
NewsFlash is a feature-rich RSS news feed reader that brings entertainment and news right to your mobile phone. It also allows you to manage all your favorite RSS feed bookmarks and get all the top stories with a single click. You can categorize all your favorite RSS feed bookmarks so that you read only what you want to read.
The application has eight in-built bookmark categories like business, entertainment, health and fitness, sports, technology, top stories, travel and others (last category is meant for all the feeds that are not included in the rest of the categories). Not only does it offer those functions, it also comes preloaded with 30 most widely popular bookmarks like BBC, Discovery Channel, New York Times, Washington Post, Yahoo and many more. But if you don't want to stick with these, the application offers the option to delete and add or customize your own bookmarks.
NewsFlash can be purchased from Total Wireless Solutions website for $12.50. You can also download the trial version of this application that is available on company's website. You can easily download the setup file after you have completed your payment details and install the application by using Blackberry Desktop Manager if your phone is synchronized with your desktop PC. Or you can directly download and install the application by opening the above-mentioned website from your Blackberry's browser. After you are done, you simply have to open the category from which you want to have the latest news feed updates and NewsFlash quickly displays a list of all the updated feeds in that category. You can click on any news headlines in the list and the application will open the full story on that headline.
You just need an Internet connection on your Blackberry phone to access all these feeds but if you don't have one, this application also allows you to read offline news feeds. I must confess that the offline content might not be as fresh and updated as the online one because headlines are only hoarded whenever you have access to Internet on your phone. In the options menu you will find the share option that allows you to share RSS feeds with your friends. When you select this option with a specific feed, then the URL of that feed will be sent to your friend via an e-mail.
Finally, this application is compatible with all Blackberry models running on operating system 4.2 or a higher and supports both RSS and RDF formats.
NewsFlash is effective RSS news feed reader with a lot of features that helps you to organize and manage your news headlines with ease. It gives you full value for your money and really does what it is designed to do. So if you're planning to buy a RSS reader, this application is definitely deserves your attention.
