Yeah, slate doesn't seem to be working for me either.

You just need to enter http://www.slate.com as the url and FC would discover the feed.
The only problem you'll get is that FC is not able to cache all pages of articles because there is no url such as "next page". I think I'll add ability to use "view as single page" link to the next FC version.

Hm... FC cannot parse slate's feed. I'll check what is wrong.

The RSS reader included with OS2008 can not do this, but other RSS readers can cache the articles for later viewing. However, this has not worked with the NY Times, as many of their articles are multi-page, and the readers only bring down the first page. This is not a problem for on-line viewing, as you can select the apropriate link to bring down the next page.

Then I noticed Feed Circuit (http://maemo.org/downloads/OS2008/) a few weeks ago, and my problem was solved. The latest version (0.6.8-1) has the ability to add a link to the next page, so it brings down the RSS feed, PLUS the next page. For the NY Times, set the link to the next page as "PRINT". Feedcircuit will bring down the first page (with all the pictures and graphics), plus it will also cache the complete text version of the article. (To access the text version, just scroll down to the end of the first page, and press the "PRINT" link.)

NY Times has a very clean address for on-line mobile access:
http://mobile.nytimes.com
but it do not works with Feed Circuits since it has no RSS Feed.

It should very nice if FC could work like AvantGo for general pages and also for such "mobiles pages".

Yes, it does work. See my earlier post.

No luck here. I was not able to have it working with the RSS of NYTimes. Two problems asking for help:
1 - Only the page with headlines was saved.
2 - App. Manager stays stuck and does not download it after uninstallation. Should I remove the files still present after uninstallation in .../.config/feedcircuit/ ?

Re: Feed Circuit and the NY Times
 
1 - Did you click on the headline? Try these settings:

url: http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/US.xml

content: Cache

Reformatting service url (which is found by clicking icon to the right of the "Content" field): http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=%s

Printable verson link: single page

Then set Feed Circuit working. When it's done, double tap on the "NYT >US" line, and then tap on one of the headlines.

I'm not sure what you're second question is. Are you asking about how to uninstall feedcircuit all together?

Re: Feed Circuit and the NY Times
 
Thanks lm2. Now it works very well.

The second question: I was able to solve it just now when I tried about several times to download feedcircuit until it worked. I had uninstalled it and could not download it again. Solved.
