Ilium Software has announced today NewsBreak, a news reader for the SmartPhone platform. Previously this program was only offered for the PocketPC but is now available to both platforms.

Although NewsBreak has become available just today, it looks very polished. Besides all the features you would rightfully expect to find in a typical RSS aggregator, it features keyword filtering and setting notifications.

I did encounter a couple of very minor issues (or rather inconveniences) but given the product is one day old I would not hesitate to call it a brilliant (and nice looking too) piece of work.

I tried in the past both freeware RSS readers and one more written in Java and I uninstalled all of these after 15-30 minutes of use.

I'm very excited about NewsBreak, still enjoy playing with it and it looks like this tool will change my view on using RSS on Smartphone. It was really hard to get used to the other ones for me spoiled by RSSBandit. But this is not the case with NewsBreak!

If I got you interested, you can read more and download the tool for evaluation from Ilium Software web site
