So it robs the content provider of any ad revenue?

  Hmmm an interesting question. Seems that the culture around RSS isn't set like other mediums are. For example, when you put an RSS feed on your site - a feed that a content site owner made available - you're keeping the user off the original content owner's site too. Interestingly, the RSS feed that I pulled to put content into the app (http://andrewtrusty.com/2009/06/29/readable-feeds/ http://andrewtrusty.com/2009/06/29/readable-feeds/ by Andrew Trusty) has 578,925 "hits" (don't know if he means subscribers). So I guess in a round about way I'm asking, is taking that existing (awesome) and publicly available feed and putting it into a mobile app for consumption on the go what bothers you, or just the fact that the feed exists in the first place? - DROdio
