I’m not sure how many people are aware of the local RSS feed reader in Safari on the iPhone/iPod touch. This service sort of lags from the old. Mac service, and I have no idea why Apple has not yet updated it to reflect and integrate with the MobileMe service.

Selecting a .xml RSS feed in Safari on the iPhone brings you to this page:

This is hosted at reader.mac.com, which gives you this page:

On Safari on the mac, this page shows.

So what’s up with this service? I think it’s quite a sleek little feature that seems to be quite quiet. Personally, I much prefer this over the multitude of RSS reader apps present on the app store, as Safari can run in the background. Really RSS readers aren’t very useful if they they are always closed.
