14 DAY TRIAL // Android mobile phone users out there have now two more applications available for their handsets, namely the NewsRob, a free RSS reader for the Google operating system, and USA Today, an app that was announced a while ago and that now becomes officially available. The best part about both of these applications is that they come for free, not to mention that they can prove quite useful, especially for enthusiasts.
When it comes to NewsRob, we should mention the fact that it is the first RSS reader for the Android operating system that comes with offline capabilities and can also synchronize with Google Reader. Those who are constantly using RSS/Atom to follow sites will find this solution to be of great help on their mobile phones running under Android.
The new version of NewsRob, namely 2.5.0, comes with some improvements over previously available iterations, including compatibility with the Cupcake update for Android, as well as the removal of the Mark All Read confirmation dialog. Users are also able now to reach Mark All Read from the context menu on the Dashboard and Feed List, though they should be really sure that they want to perform the action.
As for USA Today, this is an application that was announced to come to Google Android-based mobile phones about two months ago, and it seems that users can finally have the opportunity to enjoy the features it brings along. The free app will deliver to the handsets all the stories, scores, weather information and photos from USA Today.
Some of the features that the new software solution comes around with include the fact that users will be allowed to read articles both when online and offline, which means that those that travel a lot and lose network coverage will still be able to enjoy them. Those willing to try it out can find it available at the Android Market. As for NewsRob, it can be downloaded from Softpedia, via this link.
