I’m currently setting up my new smart phone so that I can carry around as much of my online data as possible in my pocket. First and foremost, I’m prioritizing the hundreds of RSS feeds in my online reader and putting the most important onto my device, purposely avoiding the default RSS reader shipping on my Symbian phone. So far, I’ve been able to find two interesting mobile apps for storing, reading and organizing your RSS feeds, both of which are sharp-looking, free and easy as pie to operate. Though I haven’t decided on a clear winner yet, I’m still always on the lookout, so if you have any other suggestions, by all means, let me know!
Hit the jump to take a look at my two favorites so far, Mobispine and Widsets..
Mobispine
A relative newcomer from Northern Europe, Mobispine is a fantastically designed mobile RSS feed reader, which allows users to add multiple RSS feeds to their collection and lower their mobile bandwidth costs considerably at the same time. Taking a few pages from the Apple school of design, your favorite feeds are presented visually including a simple number displaying the amount of new stories available to you. Supporting a large range of JAVA (MIDP 2.0) compatible phones (most modern LG, Nokia and Sony handsets), Mobispine is coming on strong, let’s just hope they can keep up the quality, and clean up their user forum which at the time of this post was full of spam.

Widsets
Widgets, we all know them, many love them, many hate them. I personally love my Dashboard widgets, so, it only makes sense I’d be drawn to mobile widgets. Widsets is a clever little service that allows you to add your favorite RSS feeds to your mobile device wrapped in a slim and attractive user interface. The Widsets library is HUGE, with Wids already existing for many of my favorite blogs. They also offer you a quick and easy tool for creating your own Widsets widget which you can offer to your friends, family or visitors of your blog.

i have to say that widsets is extremely impressive on my nokia E61i. i’m particularly impressed with the online interface mimicking that of the phones!
