Newsr -- A Google Reader client optimized for your Honeycomb tablet

[Chris Stewart]

Newsr gives you a tablet-centric way to casually read your Google Reader RSS feeds. Newsr takes advantage of the screen real estate on your Xoom device and gives you an elegant way to read your news. Newsr stays in sync with your Google Reader account so you'll never read the same news twice!

I built Newsr and have updated it to add a host of new features and an improved user experience. The Market site hasn't updated with the new screenshots yet, so I'll include those here as well.

I'm very proud to announce Locomo Labs! Locomo Labs is my new company where all of my existing apps will be actively developed, along with the creation of new apps to be made available in the coming weeks and months. Locomo Labs has been in the works for a few months now and we're finally ready to share it. This opportunity will give me the much needed flexibility to work on my apps in a full time capacity -- which means better quality, more frequent updates, new ideas, new apps, and more options for the Android community. I'm really excited to continue working on TweetComb, Newsr, Draft Manager, MFL Fantasy Football, and the unannounced projects currently under development.

This is really a great news reader. I really like the way it scrolls and how the photos are displayed at the right of the news stories. Very smooth running.
