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.
My point is, in fact, it isn't new at all. It's been around for a long time. They just changed the color and the name. No new functionality at all that I can tell has been added. They were even giving out free memberships before the BBCool version was announced, so the free accounts are nothing new, either. Too, there have been free RSS readers (Bloglines, Berry Bloglines, etc.) available for a long time, too, that are just as fast and just as feature rich, if not more so. So you had to pass up a lot of other far better apps to get to Piconews, which was at the bottom of the barrel.

I'm not saying Viigo isn't a fine app; it is, I enjoy using from time to time and you'll enjoy using it. I just think all this excitement is much ado about nothing.
