AOL's Working on Mobile RSS Reader

Interesting, following a previous post just a couple of days ago, RSS has a great potential in mobile phones, a position paper by Sony Ericsson.

"AOL is starting work on a Java and Brew-based mobile RSS newsreader... capable of running on wireless devices. [via Unmediated via PaidContent.org]

"The UI-rich application would allow users to browse for their most popular feeds as well as receive notifications on feed updates on their wireless devices. Features such as locality specific feeds (e.g. automatically get a feed of all theaters near your current location, with what movies are running) could also be integrated."

Seems like AOL will use it to deliver local info and alerts.
