New Viigo, who else is disappointed ? Say hello to NewsGator Go for Blackberry
July 2nd, 2008 by Jorge Ledesma
Hello guys, I just deleted the new Viigo, I got tired of the huge memory overkill on my 8310, it was just sucking way too much memory, it was crazy, so I setup shop with NewsGator Go for Blackberry, which I had paid for a long time ago and now its free and it looks great guys, if you want another alternative to Viigo do checkout NewsGator Go, its got a clean interface and the shortcuts are awesome, don’t get me wrong Viigo is great and super super cool but just know you have options, and that’s what great about the blackberry platform, we have tons of options and more and more as the days go by, here is the url for your perusal http://www.newsgator.com/Individuals/NewsGatorGo/Default.aspx and of course a few pics for your enjoyment
PS: For those wondering what kind of icon is that camera, that’s berryannoying, its an app that mutes the shutter on the bb camera and yes I do have Msn on my berry, lol, not the new version of WLM but mine works flawlessly alongside Gtalk
I did the same thing…tried viigo was unimpressed and now I’m loving newsgators to go. which syncs up nicely with feeddemon which I use on my desktop.
I am frustrated with all the memory leakage in Viigo,too, and their continued lack of support for storing stories on SD cards. So I am giving FreeRange/NewsGator a try. Already copied my feeds over. Now let’s see how it works!
Loved Viigo’s “email to me” feature, and the way it displayed news stories. But cannot cope with the memory hoggishness of Viigo, its slow development of their new product, and the fact that they offer no SD support to alleviate the memory problems. And in fact, they deny that their program is responsible for memory leakage, when in fact my BB cannot run Viigo if I have less than 3MB of available RAM, since it quickly drops to zero, at which point my BB cannibalizes emails to save space. (Which is another pet peeve, but one related to RIM and not Viigo.)
Hope NewsGator fits the bill as a Viigo replacement!
