The web portal and standalone Java client approaches have their benefits. It is easy to manage feeds on the web portal, and it is more economical, in terms of mobile phone bandwidth, to have the server polling the blogs for updates. The standalone Java client, on the other hand, provides a better user interface (UI) on the phone, which is crucial for successful mobile applications.
Litefeeds (http://www.litefeeds.com/) is a new service that combines the benefits of the web portal and the Java client approaches. Litefeeds provides a web site where you can create an account and edit your RSS feeds. The web site polls the RSS sources and keeps its content up-to-date at all times. On the mobile phone, Litefeeds distributes a Java client program that retrieves information from the web site as needed, using a compressed data protocol. The Java client presents the information in an effective mobile UI.
