Google Reader For S60 Revamped


Greader For S60 Revamped   

Close on the heels of the iPhone Google Reader which worked on S60 devices too, comes a very own S60 optimised Google Reader. The http://www.google.com/reader/m/view/ URL now takes us to the screen pictured above. This is quite an improvement over the plain reader that was otherwise a standard on S60 Browsers. Earlier only the title of the post was visible, now the first two lines of the post also find their way into the screen space. Unlike using the iPhone version on S60 in which one had to approximate links, this version clear indicated them with a box surrounding it and features such as staring a post need not be done by hit and trial. Screenshots from the N95 and E90 below.

 

The above is the iPhone version. Below is iPhone Greader - S60 Greader comparison.

 

Below are screengrabs from the E90, the first is the iReader and the second is the S60 optimised Google Reader.

On the PC the Google Reader Mobile link, still takes us to the old version. However if you open it with the S60 browser it displays what is pictured above.
