The article left the reader with excitement over the announcement (rightly so) and avoided any discussion about how the product being announced was a web application, not an ... http://www.dominokeys.com/blog/2008/08/08/inotes-for-iphone-and-the-ouch-that-ensued/ For a LONG time, I've been a huge fan of the RSS reader program (for the Mac) NewsFire. Its such a simple, elegant application. In a world of complicated software layouts, this one was only as complicated as it absolutely needed to be.
