Newsroom is an advanced RSS and News reader for the Palm Pre. The app lets you add News and RSS feeds, and can show full articles optimized for the Palm Pre’s layout and interface. In this sense, it can completely replace the Web browser for News-oriented browsing. The interface is excellent, and the perfectly formatted articles will let you actually read the content instead of zooming in and out at various spots. Going from one unread article to the next is as simple as swiping left or right across the Pre’s screen. Feeds are listed on a grid as icons that show the number of unread articles for each feed. You can have several pages of icons as you add more feeds.
You can add new feeds by searching for a feed or browsing a list of featured ones. You can also add an RSS feed directly by entering the URL. Newsroom integrates perfectly with the notification system and prompts you when new articles come in. There’s no way to read all new articles in one go, you’ll need to visit each page and tap on the icons with new numbers on them for each new article. Overall, this is a powerful and polished News and RSS reader with full-article support (not just snippets) and custom formatting that will almost certainly fulfill all your News browsing needs on the Palm Pre.
