- streetblader, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Or you could just use the official mobile google reader:
http://www.google.com/reader/m - gmcnaughton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It's owned and operated by the guy who sits down the hall from me, John Tokash (http://blog.tokash.org/).
FWIW, I can assure you that he isn't harvesting passwords. If he is, I'll shoot him with a nerf gun personally
From the FAQ: "Your Google password is not stored on the server when you use ReaderMini. Hopefully, Google will soon make their AuthForWebApps service available for the Google Reader API soon. When that happens, ReaderMini will no longer ask for your credentials. Until then, please use a new account or the demo account if you are uncomfortable." (AuthForWebApps lets you log in at google.com and gives you a cookie... however, that cookie crediential is not yet supported by the Google Reader API.)
Reader Mini was originally designed for use on the Nokia N800 (which is a Linux micro-tablet running Opera). Google reader's full interface does not work correctly on the N800, and the mobile interface is too limited in functionality. ReaderMini was created to solve these problems.
John loves getting feedback, so try it out! - despisedIcon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5i prefer digging down people with spam signatures
- smartssa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Google already has a mini reader, and who in their right or left mind would go logging into a 3rd party site with their google account?
- datagod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Also, don't use your real Gmail account, unless you want somebody sniffing around and seeing whose cookies you are after.
- gmcnaughton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The official mobile Google Reader is severely limited in functionality, and the normal Reader does not work correctly on mobile devices such as the Nokia N800 (mini linux tablet that runs Opera). ReaderMini was created to bridge the gap. It gives you access to all the Reader functions, but with a stripped-down interface.
See John Tokash's blog (http://blog.tokash.org/) for details. - rodm13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3From the site: "Reader Mini is not owned or operated by Google."
- Warpling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Tried logging on using my blackberry, but I think the digg effect is at work...
- gmcnaughton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Here are comparison pictures of the official Google Reader Mobile vs. ReaderMini:

http://readermini.com/images/readermini.png - ReaderMini
As you can see, the official Google Reader Mobile only shows headlines. ReaderMini shows feeds in one frame and the entire article contents in the other. Also it gives you access to other goodies like starred and shared items, folders of feeds, unread item counts, etc.)
Here is my own screenshot of it running on my laptop (bear in mind that it's smaller on mobile devices like the N800):

- cix22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This wouldn't work on my Cingular 2125. No javascript.
- limemonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Anybody knows a script similar to that one? I tried most of the web readers on sourceforge, but none of them come close to googles way of displaying the feeds.
- AceTracer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just tried it on my Palm Treo 700w with PIE, and it's pretty much useless. According to your screenshot, you need a display the size of a tablet PC to get it to work right. Not very "mini" to me.
- phoenixp3k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I had the same hesitation. At one point I was about to dig through the HTML to figure out where it was sending my login information but gave up. I'm happy with the way the mobile version of Reader works for me. Unless they'd have screenshots of their version I might try it in their favor.
- macewan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1google reader on a 770 is harsh - good to see someone addressing the need
- frankhardy12, on 11/28/2008, -0/+0It is amazing how butterfly effects works.Small corrections here and there can give the most propective career to your child.This can be only done through a teacher so be the one who makes the changes and become the flag man to someone's life.

- AceTracer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1At first I asked why this even exists, since Google's mobile version of Google Reader is pretty great, in fact it's the reason I use Google Reader. The website answered that question for me, apparently it doesn't work on some Nokia internet tablets. Otherwise, I don't really see the point.
- jtokash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0AceTracer: LifeHacker had good luck with Opera, but apparently it doesn't work at all on pocket IE. http://www.lifehacker.com/software/google-reader/browse-google-reader-onthego-with-reader-mini-229655.php
- supag5000, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2I might try this out next month. After my account changes. Sprint has reamed me hard for not having unlimitted data. :(
