BreakingNews Beta Adds Scrolling RSS Reader to your Homescreen

 RSS feeds3 rss feeds 4

One of the things I have always wanted RIM to add to the homescreen was widgets like weather and news. I didn’t think it was possible until a friend pointed out that ShaoSoft has an open beta of BreakingNews that scrolls the headlines of RSS feeds on your homescreen. The widget (for lack of a better word) lets you enter in a few RSS feeds and change some options to show in a news ticker. You can select up to 5 feeds and set an interval for them but the app is in a progressive beta so more feature are being added.

Check out the progress of the beta over at this thread in the CrackBerry forums. You can pick up the beta to try for yourself at this OTA install link.
