We’ve seen a lot of new features from Viigo lately, as they’ve expanded the functions of their application beyond mere RSS. It has come with a price: the application uses tons of memory. This can slow certain devices down to a crawl. I’ve known many people who have had to uninstall the BBGeeks co-branded reader because of the memory issues. Instead of saying “tough luck,” Viigo has unveiled a new app, Viigo News. It gets back to basics, offering a stripped-down RSS feed application that works much better with older devices with less available memory. It’s also good for those who don’t use the new Viigo features and just want an app that runs quickly.

One way I frequently use my BlackBerry is to catch up on reading. It’s not the best layout for doing so, but once you get used to reading in screen-sized blocks, it’s actually pretty convenient. To that end, Cooper reviewed a ton of BlackBerry RSS readers. And, of course, there’s always the BBGeeks Viigo reader. Yet many of these readers, including the popular Viigo and Google Reader Mobile, are pretty resource intensive. Adam at CrackBerry points us to a much simpler one: Arr! SS. It’s no frills, loading just the text from your feeds. In other words, it’s great for keeping up with your reading while keeping memory use in check.
