The Underminer, who you may recognize from such homebrew releases as Galactic Breakout, has unveiled something new for the hand held — Portable RSS, or better known as, PReSS.

I share the Underminer’s disappointment with Sony’s poor RSS integration from firmware 2.60 onward. This is where PReSS comes in & takes over. PReSS is a full-fledged RSS reader compatible with all RSS versions; Atom and RDF formats not supported, not yet anyway.

PReSS v0.1 feature list:

• Supports GIF, PNG and JPEG images
• Compatible with all RSS versions (but not Atom or RDF)
• Supports WEP WiFi connections (other encryptions untested)
• Resizes images to fit the window
• Has it’s own built in catalogue, filled with user submitted feed (submit feeds in the ‘Suggest feeds’ section of the website)
• Fully skinnable
• Topic expiring. With the more popular feeds; manually deleting topics becomes a tiring business.
• Set an expiration time and type (either days or max amount of topics)

Note: only use the “Home” button to exit in the event of a crash; changes won’t be saved. Otherwise, use “Select” to exit gracefully.
