DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - July 10, 2008) - NewsGator
Technologies Inc. today announced the availability of NetNewsWire for
iPhone and iPod touch, a free native application based on the
market-leading, critically-acclaimed RSS feed reader for Mac. NetNewsWire
for iPhone will sync with NewsGator's suite of RSS readers, including
NetNewsWire for Macintosh, FeedDemon, Inbox, and NewsGator Online --
providing users a lightweight, easy application to keep up with feeds on
the go.
The application is extremely easy-to-use and features a simple, clear user
interface that complements the iPhone and iPod touch experience.
NetNewsWire for iPhone makes it easy for users to cycle through all their
news by using the "Next Unread" button, which goes from story to story with
a quick tap of a single button. Users can also save items to read or blog
about later via clipping, and saved items also sync with the desktop and
browser-based RSS readers.
"With NetNewsWire for iPhone, we wanted to create a reading experience that
goes hand-in-hand with the iPhone's intuitive ease-of-use," said Brent
Simmons, creator of the NetNewsWire family of products. "People are
increasingly realizing that RSS is the fastest, most efficient way to read
their favorite news and blogs from wherever they are. The popularity of the
iPhone and iPod touch makes it the perfect platform to create an
outstanding mobile application that can become a part of people's everyday
experience."
NetNewsWire for iPhone is available for free beginning today from Apple's
App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/
