There's a free version which gives you five feeds, full version is $30, I think. NewsBreak is pretty good for MS mobile- works fine on my MDA compact.

The catch with reading RSS on a mobile is that photos come across as full sized, which suck if you are reading Flickr. Mobile Feed Reading

It's extremely different than the products you've listed above in that it is not WAP based and downloads all your subscribed feeds over the air onto your phone, letting you read them on a subway, airplane etc. There is also a built-in text only browser for reading full stories on your phone without all the formatting and images, solving the big problem identified by the first comment above. More info and a trial version are available at http://www.freerangeinc.com FreeNews is the basis for the Mobhappy newsreader the Russell mentions above. Hi Mike -
