    There's only one thing coming from Google I would hold my breath for: Gmail application for S60.
    It's the thing I need the most on my phone (my gmail mailbox) and for the moment I'm using Profimail 'cause Java SUCKS.

    Google Reader for iPhone on S60 browser ? Nice, but I don't care much.
    Wake me when Gmail for S60 is out...

    Why exactly does Java suck...? Sure, it takes a few more seconds to load, but other than that I don't know of any other significant disadvantages? By being Java, doesn't it also mean that other phones, S40 or non-smartphones get to utilize a very useful application and so it's better for everyone?

    Glad to hear of the improvements to Google Reader, I think it's been brilliant :)
  • Wake me when google realise that opera browser exists and that the way google reader appears in it, should be updated. More phones have opera on and in use than s60 counting opera.sis and opera mini.

    I use Opera Mini all the time and this latest update has fixed nothing. I'll try it again using the slow native 6120 browser but since the last update it was unusable. (added by Mobile using Mippin)

    I have a few problems with Google reader for iPhone on my N73. First of all changing settings does not seem to have any effect. I want to change the settings for startpage and the reformation of pages to the mobile browser but it does not work. When I go back after having changed, they are just the same as always. Furthermore I can only read my feeds from my startpage. If I try to go back and pick feeds from a different folder an error occurs: "ups - an error occured, try again in a few seconds"?? Have anyone else tried that? I'm thinking it may be because of the limited amount of RAM in my N73.

    Furthermore the old simple mobile reader does not work either. I can get to the first page with the folder list just fine, but as soon as I choose a folder I get an 404 error??

    Besides that I use it quite often, I just have to read my feeds by using the startup list of all the feeds. A little annoying but it works ond looks great :-)
  • Hm, I had never tried out Google Reader on Opera, because I usually don't use Opera.
    But this version is made and optimized for the iPhone, that's why it doesn't look good on Opera. S60's web browser being based on Webkit, the same as the iPhone's Safari, is able to render the page correctly. That's why I think it's kinda pushy to ask Google to improve the page for Opera. There's always the other mobile optimized version of Google Reader (m.reader.com)
  • For the "oups an error occured", try clicking on Refresh on the top right of the page. I do get this message sometimes, but it's most of the time solved by clicking refresh. I don't know about the other issues, as I never faced them.
