Can you really call a 1MB file 'slim'. Or is it just coded big? This. Can you really call a 1MB file ‘slim’. Or is it just coded big?

Even on my Tour where memory is not an issue (256 MB), I found that the performance overhead of Viigo was significant, especially since my main need was was for an RSS reader. I will be downloading the "lite" version shortly. Thanks! I believe that you are definitely moving in the right direction.

Serious bloat here. It's just text that's being downloaded, with the occasional graphic. Why such an enormous app? I agree. Serious bloat here.

In the past couple of years, we've seen over 2.4MM Viigo activations, and our servers have delivered over 1.5BB unique articles to users around the world. Needless to say, it's been busy here. After having spent the past few months interacting with many of you on Twitter, and personally reviewing the feedback from our incident reports and across a number of forums, two things became apparent to me: (1) That some of you wanted JUST the best News & RSS experience possible on BlackBerry ... and didn't need the other (albeit very popular) features. (2) That our challenges with memory constrained devices were causing people who otherwise loved Viigo to have to forego the app. As a result of this, we launched two rapid initiatives internally: (1) Viigo News, focused on delivering an excellent News & RSS experience in as efficient a way as possible (memory & device overhead) (2) The accelerated deployment of some critical memory and performance optimizations for the full Viigo (this is now in Open Alpha at GetViigo.com/Alpha) Our development team has done a superb job of bringing both these products to market quickly. I want to reiterate that we do welcome your feedback, as we are committed to being a customer led and customer focused company. We know we have more work to do, so stay tuned, we have lots more coming :-) Mark Ruddock CEO Viigo twitter.com/RuddockMH Thanks for the post Ronen.

What exactly is at the link? Viigo just announced it over the weekend. It was leaked a bit back but I did not see the point in mentioning it before it was released officially.
