PocketRss (Compact Framework Pocket Pc aggregator)
PocketRss It will be the first Compact Framework Pocket Pc aggregator ;)
PocketRss will be an RSS/RDF news aggregator that runs on the Pocket PC 2002 PDA's. You can read news, blog entries, or any other type of syndicated data, sync it wirelessly or read it offline.
There are one Pocket Pc aggregator (PockedFeed) but is not made with compact framework. You can see in this link: http://www.furrygoat.com/Software/PocketFeed/index.html
Note: This Pre-Alpha version not support Proxy Authentication
I will start to build the PocketRss on next month (I will be on vacations and I will spend some time on this project). I think that all guys that work with Compact Framework can help me on this.
I will be release two versions (vb.net and C#) because some people like to work with c# and others not (I preferred vb.net ;) but I know both). What you think about this ?
Until then I will join all information to put all this together:
- Support Skins
- Proxy Authentication
- SqlCe 2.0 Database
- C# and Vb.net version
