Reeder (CNET 100: iPhone Apps)
As someone who needs to stay up on tech news, I'm continually keeping track of newsfeeds from hundreds of sources across the Web. Because of its convenience, my newsreader of choice is Google Reader, which has allowed me to cultivate enormous lists of newsfeeds tailored specifically to the kinds of stories I need to stay up on.
Unfortunately, my hour-long morning train ride into work is a cell phone and Wi-Fi dead zone, which poses a problem for reading through my morning news. My solution is Reeder, which works directly with my Google account to cache all of my newsfeeds offline, while still allowing me to star and organize content. The interface is clean and simple, and makes no apologies for working only with Google Reader. Under iOS 4, feed syncing can now run as a background task, which is a big win. Also works great on the iPad.
Price: $2.99
