Decent RSS Reader (with ticker)?

I came across a couple of RSS apps today, both of which had something I have not seen before - the ability to display a ticker on the main screen.

Unfortunately, neither of the two offerings I discovered are any good IMO as the ticker is not well placed and is not customisable enough.

First up: Mobiz LiveFeeder

On the home screen, the ticker is great, but not so great anywhere else as it completely covers anything else on screen at the time (see below).




Next up is Moblinews:

Still no good as the ticker is far too big and is not at all customisable ... The only way to have the ticker displayed is as below:



Anyone know of any other RSS options out there? Ideally, one that will allow the ticker on the home screen but nowhere else, or at the very least, allows the ticker to be positioned where required.

Cheers.

Do I take it from the lack of responses that people are not aware of that RSS is ... or there simply aren't any more offerings?!

If it was carried out in such a way that it did not interfere with other aspects of the N95's operation, I personally can see a great use for RSS feeds on the 'desktop'.

To have news updates and new articles from areas of interest around the Internet appear directly on screen and to have them updated at regular intervals without the need for user intervention would be very useful to me.

It's just a shame there are no apps that allow this in a 'clean' fashion ... yet. Perhaps as RSS becomes more popular, time will tell.
