Developer’s description: PinStack.com is a website with reviews, news, and discussions for a number of smartphone platforms. PinStack Mobile Reader, a joint offering from PinStack.com and HandMark, allows mobile access to the site’s information (covering BlackBerry RIM, Apple iPhone, Google Android, Windows Mobile, Nokia Symbian, and Palm WebOS). The mobile version works from within the BlackBerry’s menu with support for additional platforms available in the coming months. You can read PinStack as well as other feeds, whether you’re connected or offline. A customizable “My Keywords” tracks news that’s important to you, a “My Feeds” tab searches and adds RSS feeds from other sites and blogs, and a “My PinStack” tab filters forum updates to download only topics and device news that interest you.

Pros: A single RSS reader for mobile phones that is easily customized.

Cons: Feels most native to Blackberry despite promise of support for additional platforms.

Disclosure: Hayden James, the founder of Pinstack.com, is a partner in this application. He is one of the our competition screeners. He will not be involved in any and all discussions about this application among the other screeners. He will also not take part in any discussions pertaining to any similar, and potentially competitive, apps.
