Last week we talked about Newsprint, an upcoming feeds reader app for iPhone which is really promising and could seriously replace Reeder (our review) on my homescreen.
Today I’m very proud to give you an exclusive sneak peek at Stories, a new RSS app which takes a radical different approach and brings Google Reader feeds to your iPhone with a minimal, native and elegant interface.
Like Mailplane for the Mac, Mailroom alleviates some of the pain of using a Gmail account on the iPhone or iPod Touch. Using a long, complex password I created in 1Password, it’s a pain in the butt to manually log into Gmail with my credentials each time. Especially when you have multiple accounts. While 1Password does make an iPhone app (that I do have), it’s still not a simple process to log in.
Mailroom allows me to save all of my Gmail credentials in the app, but what makes that different from Apple’s own mail? Federico and I have decided to team up for this review, so you’re going to get a little something special today - a MacStories double team if you will.
Thanks everyone who entered the Arq giveaway. Also, I’d like to thank Haystack Software for the 10 licenses he gave to MacStories.
Here are the names of the winners:

Congratulations guys, you deserve it.
Our review.
I’m a big fan of things like Last.FM, thesixtyone, and other services that can turn me to new music or help me get into (or out of) certain moods. Ghostly Discovery is a free application that allows me to get into the mood of things. Or at least tries to. On one hand it’s an application that I really want to love. On the other, it’s hard not to look past some obvious pitfalls.
Let’s take a look shall we?

From the same blog post:
“The entire Pixelmator Team is getting to work on Pixelmator 1.6 Nucleus, and it is going very well.”
