Apple RSS Reader for iPhone

According to ThinkSecret, Apple has developed an RSS reader for the iPhone as an AJAX/Web 2.0 application at http://reader.mac.com.

Apple has developed a web app at reader.mac.com that will bring RSS feeds to the iPhone. Users will be able to add the addresses of news feeds and check on headlines through the Apple-designed RSS aggregator.



Readers have already visited the site with spoofed iPhone useragents and are only greeted with a blank page. It appears Apple's RSS Reader application isn't yet active for the public.

Interesting... the first extension of .mac onto the iPhone... wonder if it will require a .mac account to use? Hope so, it would start to add some value to the overpriced .mac account that I already have.

maybe some sort of file locker that you can access anywhere?

Heck.

I would settle for:

a) drag your files from your mac to your .mac "reader" folder.
b) you go to reader.mac.com
c) you can read and load them on your iphone.

An RSS reader? Or would the iPhone's Safari just do that?

actually it can be accessed with any browser, as long as they fake their UA to be "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A538a Safari/419"

It was stated in the Times Q&A for the iPhone that the Safari browser lacks an RSS Reader.

Don't even need that much. Looks like just "iPhone" is enough to trigger a change.

Same goes for the main apple.com website when you click on Show Demo for the iPhone. Usually you get the choice of three video sizes. With iPhone User Agent you only get one video size and format.

Haven't had a chance to do more digging.
