Just grabbed the last code. Syncing it over now, some impressions in a bit.
EDIT: My main complaint so far: No mobilized version of the article? I'm used to Byline and Instapaper, which both cache text-only versions of the page. If it went to the mobile version of the site, I'd be fine with that, or if it ran it through something like Instapaper's Mobileizer[1] that would be nice - with an option to view the original of course.
It also crashed on me once while reading a rather meaty article from Engadget[2], and didn't appear to save any of my read/favorite status.
I'm not sure there really needs to be the different ways of sorting the news that up-front (Date/Source/Topic), but it does mirror the iPod app and it'll take some using before I'm really sure - maybe I'll like it more than I think.
The article selection seems decent, although that'll really take a few days to learn my preferences I assume.
Overall I'd say a decent idea that's executed well - a few tweaks and bug fixes would seal the deal for me, I think.

- pclark 17y agothank you. we'll look into mobilizing content via instapaper. we really don't want to strip adverts out - wish more providers offered mobile versions of content. We've had lots of feedback about how slow articles are to load, so we might be forced to optimize the content via instapaper or such. thanks for the engadget link, we can totally fix that.
