Pocket[search for a name] (Compact Framework Pocket Pc aggregator)

I have posted on Saturday, June 21, 2003 (PocketRss (Compact Framework Pocket Pc aggregator)) about one project that I would love that all guys here participated. It will be the first Compact Framework Pocket Pc aggregator and it will be Open Source ;)

It will be an RSS/RDF news aggregator that runs on the Pocket PC 2002/3 PDA's. You can read news, blog entries, or any other type of syndicated data, sync it wirelessly or read it offline. 

I have started building one Pocket Pc aggregator with .NET Compact Framework and have giving the name PocketRss BUT I have to change that name !!!

There is one Pocket Pc aggregator with that name (not made with CF):

(Note: This app is not free).

I have thinking, for the new name, PocketNews!
What you guys think?
Any suggestion ?

There is other 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 0.6 version not support Proxy Authentication
It´s a great app ;) I use it and it's Free !!

The releases of my project will be post on GotDotNet Workspace:

The news and the screenshots will be post on my weblog, here! ;)

Cheers ;)

why having Pocket in the name ?

Microsoft seems to move from this name slowly and surely with MS Mobile 2003.

Why not MobileNews or Newsonthe Move ;-)

Actually, MobileNews was a NNTP reader by BSQUARE for Palm-sized PC's years ago. Im sure they still own the trademark.
