NetNewsWire News
By 
They say that timing is everything but the timing on this is a bit freaky.
Just last night I was reading an article using NetNewsWire (I continue to bounce back and forth between NetNewsWire and Google Reader with some iNews mixed in) and thought to myself- "Self, it has been a long long while since this app was updated. I wonder what is going on???"
Well, just hours later…
my pal Patrick J over on JustAnotheriPhoneBlog grabbed the scoop… apparently it is likely (95% so) that sync with Google Reader will be part of the next version of both the iPhone AND Mac NetNewsWire applications. Patrick explains…
In a post on his blog site today Brent Simmons, the creator of NetNewsWire, gives a major update on where he is at with NetNewsWire. Here are some of the highlights from that post:
No estimates yet of when the new versions will be out but it sounds like they’re both being worked on very actively now …
Here’s the scoop: both versions are in extremely active development. I’m currently working on NetNewsWire 3.2 and 4.0 for Mac and NetNewsWire 2.0 for iPhone.
I don’t have time estimates — any guesses would be completely wrong. But nobody’s more impatient than I am.
Support for Google Reader sync is the plan …
The plan is to add Google Reader syncing to NetNewsWire 3.2/Mac and NetNewsWire 2.0/iPhone also. I can’t promise for sure for-sure, but I’m 95% sure.
It is great news for those of us who keep bouncing back and forth between Google Reader and NetNewsWire. Let’s hope it comes to pass.
