New RSS Reader for BlackBerry
John over at litefeeds.com sent an email out a couple weeks ago that didn't get around too until tonight. He's created a J2ME RSS reader which works in conjunction with a web-based application to allow you to read all your favorite RSS feeds on the go. You can install the application OTA at mobile.litefeeds.com and then head on over to litefeeds.com to import your existing feeds (a nice touch was the ability to import my feeds simply by entering my bloglines username). After the import is complete you need to specify which feeds you want to enable for your mobile device (makes sense, I have ~150 feeds that I subscribe too, not all of which I'd be interested in reading on my BlackBerry). There are a couple things that could be improved, but the bottom line is that it works. Try it out.

WOOT! bloglines support!
No one has any business making rss clients that DON"T have bloglines support.

Thanks for the mention Aaron,
Just wanted to let your readers know that if they have trouble installing over the air at mobile.litefeeds.com they can try litefeeds.com/mobile
Also after importing your Bloglines OPML remember that you need to "mobile enable" the feeds that you want to receive on your Blackberry, in the Edit/Mobile section online.
Stay tuned ... we have a custom Blackberry version and advanced features coming soon.
