Next, on N900/Maemo5 :

Much easier to get going of course, so the remarks are mostly about usability...

First, on the main screen I don't see a list of my feeds, just the "All" special feed, is that normal ?
In Grr I have only my individual feeds and no "All" option... I'd like both :-)

Next, in landscape mode with keyboard, navigation is cool enough. I can think of many more useful keys to support (backspace, M, R etc. :-). The scrolling title, however, is VERY distracting, I'd like an option to disable it as the popup is much better...

Portrait mode is very convenient for RSS feeds, but without the keyboard, in its present state GRead has no practical means of navigation, same as the original Grr. The icon menus on TheBooTroo's "Grr Remade" are the right way to go IMHO, even if they're a big large (hey, yet another Frenchman ? :-).

Finally, I'm not sure the "internal" preview with Qwebkit is really useful : opening the page in MicroB is about as fast, and more versatile if you want to browse from there...

We'll make it the best GR** yet ! :-)
