NewsGator Go! for BlackBerry Provides Synchronized Access to Favorite RSS Feeds, News and Information From Any Online Source
| Source: NewsGator
DENVER, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 14, 2007 -- NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS
company, today announced the availability of NewsGator Go! for BlackBerry and
NewsGator Go! for Java, mobile RSS readers designed for BlackBerry and
other Java-enabled mobile devices. NewsGator Go! gives individual and
business users the ability to access news and other time-sensitive content
from any RSS-enabled source through virtually any popular mobile device.
With NewsGator Go!, the company is fostering RSS adoption into all aspects
of everyday life and is enabling users to consume information anywhere and
at anytime. NewsGator Go! delivers information users want, from sports
scores, world news and weather updates to relevant business-related
content.
The latest addition to the company's expanding consumer product line,
NewsGator Go! for BlackBerry further expands the company's reach into the
mobile and enterprise markets. This release follows the September 2006
announcement of NewsGator Go!
for Windows Mobile, which gives users the ability to read content and
manage their RSS subscriptions seamlessly from any Windows Mobile capable
device.
"Having a mobile RSS reader for my BlackBerry that synchronizes with my
desktop and web-based readers is a huge time saver," said David Cohen,
executive director of TechStars. "In the past, I've used other mobile
readers, but they required me to manage my subscriptions separately and
showed me articles I had already read on my desktop. NewsGator Go! for
BlackBerry fixes these problems and makes catching up on my feeds while I'm
out of the office practical and efficient."
"As basic RSS adoption and usage continues to accelerate, users are
clamoring for easy, always-on access to the most relevant news and
information they consume every day," said Brian Kellner, general manager of
consumer products at NewsGator. "NewsGator Go! is about giving people a way
to read what they care about from checkout lines, meetings, airports,
events -- literally wherever and whenever they want it."
Key features and benefits of NewsGator Go! for BlackBerry and Java include:
-- Optimal Format for Mobile Devices: Content, including articles and
links, is automatically formatted to accommodate limited bandwidth and
screen size, and ensure an ideal viewing experience.
-- Faster Access to News and Information: With NewsGator Go!, users can
more quickly access information that normally would take much longer to
view using a standard phone browser. The reader's single window format
allows users to easily access all relevant information, rather than
visiting multiple Web sites to access the information they need.
-- RSS Reader Synchronization: RSS subscriptions and content are fully
synchronized across NewsGator's entire suite of products, including
FeedDemon, NetNewsWire, NewsGator Online and NewsGator Inbox. Articles
marked as "read" on their mobile device will show up as "read" on their
other NewsGator applications.
-- Synchronization with NewsGator Enterprise On-Demand: NewsGator Go! also
synchronizes with NewsGator Enterprise On-Demand, an enterprise RSS
solution, enabling mobile workers to receive and read relevant news and
business content that is synchronized with their enterprise information
initiatives.
-- Clippings Synchronization: Clip and save posts for revisiting later
with NewsGator Online or any other NewsGator reader.
-- Mark Feeds as Read: Mark feeds and articles as read from your mobile
device so you can be more efficient when you get back to the office.
-- Share Articles: Users can send interesting articles to friends and
co-workers via email on their mobile device.
NewsGator Go! for BlackBerry and NewsGator Go! for Java were developed in a
technology partnership with FreeRange
Communications, the leading developers of mobile publishing and mobile
RSS solutions, and is available for BlackBerry, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, and
most other MID-P 2.0 mobile phones, including Samsung, Sanyo and LG.
NewsGator Go! is available for $29.95 or $14.95 if bought with any of
NewsGator's desktop readers, including FeedDemon, NetNewsWire and Inbox.
