One note to makers of RSS feed readers. There exists a real need for a way to host one's RSS streams in a minimalist HTML format so that people can read their feeds on a cellular phone, which naturally can't handle lots of extravagant graphics but could display the contents of RSS feeds with graphics easily. Services like Bloglines, which let you surf your feeds online from any computer, still require logins and other things that a cell phone couldn't handle. So how about adding support for this with an RSS reader -- it could have options for creation of a view-anywhere HTML display that could be surfed from any machine via web sharing, or uploaded to an FTP site at regular intervals? Viewing one's RSS feeds on a cell phone is a "killer app" that has been ignored totally so far, as long as I can tell.

It is done, check VT Mobile - Ilgaz

Well, VT mobile is set only for 3-4 feeds (can't change) but if you go to "developers site", you will find the full application with amazing features like "compression".
