RSS Syncing
So my contract is finally up in a few weeks, so now is a good time to upgrade to an iPhone 3G.
As far as I understand it (and from experience with my iPod touch), reading an RSS feed on your iPhone doesn't then mark RSS articles as read when you return to your mac.
Currently I use Safari for my RSS. Is there a way to have articles mark as read after syncing the iPhone? I don't think there is this possibility through Safari, but is there another RSS app for Mac and iPhone that allows this to happen?
It would be great if I could read my RSS articles on the train on the way home, and not then have them marked as unread when I use my mac.
I'm sure I'm not the only person looking for an elegant solution to this - any help greatly appreciated!

As an aside I use to use Google Reader almost exclusively before NetNewswire came out for the iPhone - now I have abandoned Google Reader all together (along with Google Mail as I now use MobileMe for the push mail, calendar etc).
Hope this helps,
Alex.

I use NetNewswire for the iPhone and the Mac
Thanks Alex. I'm giving NetNewsWire a whirl on my iMac and it seems pretty good. Brilliant when you consider it is free! The only slight hitch was the fiddle to import bookmarks from Safari. Looking forward to trying out the iPhone version next week.
