Feeder gets HP TouchPad-friendly update 14
Wed, 20 Jul 2011 9:10 pm EDT 
Our favorite Google Reader app just got better: Feeder has been updated with HP TouchPad support. Developer Darrin Holst took the time to update this made-for-phones Mojo app with controls for it to work in full-size on the TouchPad, and it's well worth it. While Feeder on the tablet doesn't take advantage of the awesomeness that is Enyo and multiple panes, it does bring the advantage of familiarity and working well.
All of Feeder's features have been brought forward to this v.0.7 release, plus added back button and close controls to get around the TouchPad's lack of a gesture area. Swiping through articles still works, as does swiping on lists to mark as read/unread or favorite. In short, it's the Feeder we know and love, but blown up for the big screen.
There are more Google Reader apps populating the TouchPad App Catalog, but in the meantime, there's Feeder. If you've already puchased Feeder for your webOS phone on the same profile, you can download it for free from the App Catalog. If not, it's available for $2.99 (and will work on both TouchPad and your smartphone).

YES. LOVE it.
I just bought it and it does not run fullscreen like you say. It is running in the emulator... Very disappointing.
Nice that Darrin took the time to make it Touchpad compatible, even though he said he would cut back on webOS development.
If you guys like Feeder on the Touchpad, you're gonna love what I have in store. At the risk of sounding like HP, "stay tuned".
It was working in the full screen. I enjoyed it for a couple of days. Updated this morning and it's running in emulator now.
I did have it running in full screen until I did the update this morning. It's now running in the tiny emulator for me too. Boo!!
Glad to see updates, thought this dude said in his blog that he was done with webOS. (Or is that thewebOS?)
thanks you so much Darrin!! love your app, and now it is real usable on TP! please enyo-ify!
I haven't used this app yet but its always gotten rave reviews, and I just wanted to say its great that this has been updated for the tp, and in the same pkg! Yes maybe he couldn't have made a new pkg for a mojo-updating, but still.. Very cool.
there will be an enyo app that does google reader. it is in beta and already works well.
compared with ipad feedreaders there are no AWESOME reades currently in the app catalog
Hilariously, this is week old (if not older) news, a tiny improvement release did go out today to resolve the header widths (or horizontal rules if you prefer). You can actually see the bug in action in the author's screenshots.
I was using the previous version shown in the screenshots for about a week, until today's update with its display issues (the de submitted a fix version already for the re-shrinking problem). It took a little getting used to with additional finger travel distance but it is a great app.
And people really should thank the guy, especially if you're like me and you now have a great functioning app for two devices at one price.
I was really excited when I read this at home but when I got home and downloaded the app to my TouchPad, it brought up the emulator. Damn!!!
Fixed! New NEW update made it fullscreen again.
