iPhone-only RSS reader coming to .Mac

It seems that Apple is taking the first sip from the web 2.0-only-iPhone-apps kool-aid while simultaneously injecting their stagnating .Mac service with a little pep by introducing what looks like an RSS reader just for the iPhone. Going to reader.mac.com should present the dialog you see capped in this post, which means that the app is likely tied to Apple's suite of .Mac services, but is surprisingly not even available to users on, how shall we say, more 'traditional' computers.

This is an interesting move, especially since Jobs is on record saying that .Mac needs a bit of a kick in the pants. Fortunately, with the iPhone-optimized rate plans Apple and AT&T announced earlier this week, users won't have to worry about pulling down too much data while surfing RSS all day (though we should note that iPhone customers can use an iPhone on any voice plan they already have with AT&T). We'll take a look at this app as soon as we can get our hands on an iPhone.
