Free up time with an iPhone – Part 1

This is the first part in a series I am working on for how you can use an iPhone, or other smartphone, to free up time in your daily life.

An RSS Reader application is an excellant way to save time catching up on news and articles from your favorite websites and blogs.

Pros:
– Saves bandwidth and battery life on mobile devices, as compared to the browser.
– Allows you to scroll through just the article titles to find what you would like to read.
– Can tag or star an article for later reference or reading.
– You do not need to remember or bookmark all those Website and blog URLs.

Cons:
– If you do not stay up to date with your RSS feeds, unread count can get large.

One option is to use Google Reader to manage your RSS feeds and then an iPhone like NetNewsWire to connect to your Google Reader account and browse your feeds.
