BlackBerry PlayBook Gets a Free Google Reader Client GeeReader

 192325 

One of the things that BlackBerry smartphones are missing is a free solid RSS reader with desktop synchronization. BerryReader is pretty awesome but the price is high for most users and News Feeds from RIM is just a shameful rehash of Viigo. My big hope is that the BlackBerry PlayBook will fix this with an awesome Google Reader client using the new SDK’s. While you could simply use Google Reader in the PlayBook browser a client usually is more functional for RSS especially for offline caching.

Ryan Krull has answered that calling by releasing the first Google reader client I have seen for the PlayBook and its free! The app looks pretty sweet and kind of makes me wish we could get more of these kinds of apps for BlackBerry smartphones.
