Mobile RSS that just works

In my quest for a more productive RSS environment I came across NewsGator GO! the other day (I'm sure it's been around for ages though) and given that I currently have a windows mobile device I figured I'd give it a go. Have to say I'm impressed, I ploughed through a whole heap of feeds today while travelling to Paris, I like the way I can 'clip' items on my phone and then see them all online later when I get connected again (like Google Reader Link Log). Even better I stumbled across the fact I can then subscribe back to them again through NetNewsWire and have them on the Mac if I want to do something about a post later. (not sure if I'll get in to a vicious circle yet though)

The UI works really well with only slight annoyances, it's fast and it just works, synced feeds across Mac, Web and Mobile, what more could a man want.... (in terms of RSS that is) and all for $29.95 (ouch) plus of course the increased data charges (which fortunately I don't pay!)

update: In yet another demonstration of the true power of RSS and blogging a mere 3 hours after posting this I got mail from the devoloper of NGo! asking is I wanted to beta test the next version and of course I really do, especially as some of the 'slight' shortcomings are already being dealt with it seems !
