iPad is the perfect device for keeping up with all of your favorite websites' updates via RSS feeds, and NewsRack is the first fully-featured reader to make an impact on the tablet. While some other readers offer more colorful or newspaper-like user interfaces, NewsRack keeps things clean and simple with easy to use touch commands in both portrait and landscape modes.

Read all your favorite websites' posts in one place via RSS feeds.
If you already use Google Reader -- the web-based option of choice for many -- you can easily sync your account with NewsRack, which will keep track of unread pages and manage your existing folders. Alternately, you can manually add feed URLs provided by websites, or search the built-in Feed Directory, which is similar to the iTunes Podcast Directory, albeit for blogs and news websites.

In landscape view, you'll have an ever-present listing of stories.
Flicking through stories is as simple as tapping them on the listing or using the previous/next buttons, with entries loading almost immediately upon touch. You can also star favorite entries for later viewings, or share them with friends through Google Reader, e-mail, or other social networking and offline-reading services. NewsRack makes it so easy to keep up with your favorite news feeds on the go, so if you're an RSS junkie in search of a stellar iPad reader, this one's got our vote.
