Because I'm adverse to paying the extortion of a subscription fee for an RSS reader; this is a branded BlackBerry Cool version of the app that is free, and shall apparently remain free. Some things I will pay for on my mobile, an RSS reader is not one of them - you may feel differently, that's how the cookie crumbles.
Due to the aging nature of Piconews - it has a lot of great features, but the server is always way behind on the articles, duplicates things a lot, and the app has UI issues; Blacktouch seems to basically have abandoned it completely, they don't even reply to email anymore - this is a new, good thing to appear on the landscape to replace Piconews.
So, in a sense to a certain market segment of us lowly users, this *is* the best thing to hit the BlackBerry in a long while.
