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".
