Project Description
FeedFly is a feed reader application designed for the Windows Mobile Professional platform built using the .NET Compact Framework. It was created to allow its users the ability to keep up with internet-syndicated content when away from their computer and without an internet connection. By downloading when the device has a data connection, feed items will be available for offline viewing.
