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.

About

MOBILE APPS SHOWDOWN

spacer

The Mobile Apps Showdown is a fast-paced contest where you're asked to weigh in on the apps you think have what it takes to make it. For the months leading up to the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) we'll be presenting the contestants to you. You can try them, watch demos, make your feelings known, and ultimately vote on a winner. We're platform agnostic, so if it's mobile it's in the competition.

The top ten apps will join us at CES 2012 for an action packed event hosted by Jon Hein and Gary Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern Show.

Robin Raskin, creator of the Mobile Apps Showdown, will be there to emcee events.

By the end of this year more than 7 billion apps will have been downloaded. Only you know which ones are the keepers.
