Pure News version 1.0.2 is available on the Android Market for a mere $1.50, and it's worth every penny if you love being able to have your news delivered to a widget rather than using one of many RSS reader apps currently available. The big difference here is the ability to scroll through your feed right within the widget.
The only downside for many though is the fact that it requires you to have a launcher app installed which supports scrollable widgets. A few that it supports are ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, LiveHome, and Go Launcher Ex. I say downside because many people don't bother with custom launchers and just run stock ROMs. No big deal though, if you have an Android Honeycomb device, like the Xoom, it's supported out of the box there.
Here's a list of other features:
- Connected to Google reader to retrieve your prefered news
- Scrollable widget with most alternative launchers like ADW, Zeam Launcher, Go Launcher or LauncherPro
- Show news thumbnails
- Multiples skins and widgets sizes to make a fancy widget
- Lot of options to customize rendering
- Can use Google Mobilizer to reduce used bandwidth when reading full article
- full Android 3.0 / HoneyComb / Xoom support !!! with scrolling !
- Can mark as read in Google reader
- Optional local cache of articles
