View Blogs and Flickr Photostreams and Images on your Java Mobile Phone

49PM have launched a RSS reader for Java enabled mobile phones. This means that you can view blogs (as an example) on your phone, but that any images are reformatted and optimised to be displayed on your handset.

You could also use the app to view Flickr photostreams, as an example. If you set up a stream for you and your friends/family to use, the latest will be streamed to your phone for you to see. Then, you can save the ones you like on the handset, if you want.

The addressing works intuitively – just enter the URL and the app will find the right feed for you. And only the unread feeds are displayed, meaning that you don’t have to download posts that you’ve already seen.

Pretty useful if you’re out and about and need to feed your blog reading habit.
