The Early Edition for iPad hits 1.1 - Give-away
One of the things many of us have been waiting for when it comes to iPad apps is a great RSS newsreader and with The Early Edition for iPad 1.1, a contender is here. It includes the same great newspaper look and page-turning feel as the launch-day version but adds what amounts to a must-have feature for many -- Google Reader feed import. Here's the full changelog:
- Sections! Now you can group & view feeds in customized categories
- Google Reader / OPML feed & folder importing!
- Feed discovery! Now you can enter a website URL & The Early Edition will search for discoverable feeds
- There are now four ways to filter your news: Last Fetch, Today, All Dates & Past Editions
- Saved state! Now when you exit the app and relaunch, it will go back to the page you were on
- Auto-fetch will now only occur the first time you launch the app on a given day
- Fetching now includes a progress bar as visual feedback
- You can now cancel a fetch before it is finished
- Speed & performance enhancements
- Greatly improved international character support
- UI enhancements
- App Store links now open the App Store instead of web previews
- New Help menu with answers to frequently asked questions
- Bug fixes, including some feeds that were causing crashes
I've been beta testing it for a while now and I've been very happy with it, so much so that when I switched to an iPad 3G last Friday and my beta wouldn't load, I missed it.
If you want to try it for yourself, Glasshouse Apps has been gracious enough to pass along a few promo codes. Just tell us some of your favorite news feeds in the comments below and we'll pick some of you at random and give you the codes. (US iTunes Store account needed to redeem, Apple's ru

Definitely my favorite RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/futbolecuador/3
1 of my top 3 favorites is netnewswire. I want to have all the most updated.
My favorite would have to be feed://feeds.pheedo.com/appleinsider
Thanks for this awesome giveaway guys : )
Awesome Blog for all iPhone-users (specially for german): http://www.iphoneblog.de/feed/
TiPB (asskiss FTW!), Engadget, Anandtech, would've said HardOCP at one time, but Steve Lynch's "news posts" have made me stop reading, Whedonesque (have to keep an eye on that one ;)).
My favorite feeds are tipb, tuaw, & macstories
Engadget & Engadget HD
Channel 10
Lifehacker
Yellow Bricks
The Green Button
iPhone Blog
and many many more. : )
daring fireball, engadget, smashing magazine are all good feeds...
Tuaw, macworld, iphonealley, appadvice. Do you see a pattern? If it's about Mac, I'm following it.
Thanks for the chance.
Chad.
My favorite one is http://feeds2.feedburner.com/nerdson
I love Andy Ihnatko's CWOB even though it is currently offline. And you can't beat the Tipb feed.
Definetely TiPB is one of my favorite feeds :)
I also like Tuaw, Engadget, Gizmodo, BGR, Valleywag, and CNN's Top News.
Thanks!
favourite feed http://www.iphonefeedreader.com/
My favorite and most read feeds would be TiPB, Crackberry, Android Central, PreCentral, Endgadget and Boy Genuis Report.
TiPB, Engadget and TUAW
My favorite and most read feeds would be TiPB, Crackberry, Android Central, PreCentral, Endgadget and Boy Genuis Report. This would be great, while I may be a bit too late for hockey season, it would pay off when college football kicks into gear.
TiPb RSS feed! Seriously we love your work on the site and on the podcasts.
TIPB, Engadget
tuaw, tipb, danger room, ilounge
My favorite feeds are Lifehacker, Time's Top Photo essays, and Outblush.
Gizmodo, Engadget, TiPB, TUAW are on the top of my feed list
TiPb, of course! I also read Engadget, Gizmodo, TUAW, 9to5mac, etc.
Tipb, engadget, slashdot, CNN, gizmodo, appleinsider
This app looks absolutely magnificent!
Here are my feeds:
Your feed
Tuaws
9to5mac
Modmyi
Thebigboss
NakedProductions
Wired
Gizmodo
Engadget
USA Today
Comic alert
I read Android Central, TiPb, Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Consumerist, The Daily WTF, Consumer Reports Money Blog, and some local news rss's
I read too many feeds to choose a favorite! I love them all, or I wouldn't follow them. :) But I'm a big fan of politics and news feeds, and so I like things like the BBC and NPR feeds.
TiPB of course
I also like Tuaw, Engadget, Gizmodo, BGR
We add local news feeds to our local city guide iPhone apps by partnering with the local affiliates, so now I read my local news through a collection of RSS feeds - so much nicer than having to navigate between websites to get the feeds. Our favorite iPad app news feeds are Reuters and AP.
Well this one is the best, TiPb rocks! Naturally there are the other usual news places for stuff like this but I keep TiPb at the top of the list because there aren't any of those boring, useless stories that I have to ignore. I'm stuck using Byline on my iPad and since it isn't universal I'm stuck reading blurry headlines every morning. A code for this would make my mornings!
Yeah. I will check out the update immediately. I had been using Early Edition for about 4 weeks and noticed continual increase in performance drops and bugginess. I switched over to Pulse a few days ago because Early Edition became unusable. I enjoyed it originally, so I hoped that they fixed the app.
Without any doubt:
http://daringfireball.net/index.xml
daring fireball, engadget, smashing magazine
Also Ikea Hacker athttp://feeds.feedburner.com/Ikeahacker
TiPb (really!!)
Engadget
TUAW
Photographers blogs
Belgian "De standaard" news page
And a whole bunch of medical blogs....
So, some of my favorite feeds? Let's see, these should be included: [Mac-Related] TiPB, TUAW, Macworld; [Gadget-Related] Engadget, SlashGear, PocketGamer; [International News] BBC, Time; guess will add some more later on :D
I do have TiPb along with churchcrunch, churchcreate, macStories, DoggieHeadTitl and BoyGeniusReport
TiPb of course :)
I'm a counselor and enjoy many of the Psychology feeds, in particular Scientific American Mind (Mind Matters).
Thanks!
I have a lot of feeds but I read a lot of lifehacker, gizmondo, engadget, appleinsider, and of course TiPb.
The Superficial (http://feeds.feedburner.com/thesuperficial/SNxk). The writer for this blog always has the funniest reporting on pop culture gossip. Highly recommended.
My feeds- Engadget, Wired, AppleInsider, Giz, TiPb, Android Central, MacRumors
TIPB, TUAW, and AP app
Obviously TiPb. TUAW and Engadget are a must as well.
I enjoy tipb for the ipad coverage. I also like boingboing, engadget and retronauts!
TiPB, MacRumors, TUAW
Newsrack has Google Reader SYNC - not just import. Far better than Early Edition.
fscklog.com
padmania
macessentials
I love gizmodo and engadget for all the latest tech news.
TiPb, iLounge, Google Reader's "cool via recommendations", lolcats, TVSquad, Arthur Frommer Online, Gadling, and so many more!

Pharyngula
http://feeds.feedburner.com/scienceblogs/pharyngula
I like the google feed, Yahoo feed, financial times.

I love the look, but I need Google Reader syncing in any RSS reader I use. Importing just isn't enough when you read news on more than one device (e.g., multiple desktops, iphone, ipad,...)
My favorite feeds are TUAW, Daring Fireball, Lifehacker and Touch Arcade.
I use Google reader to track all my feeds, so it's nice they've added support.
Besides TiPb, I keep close tabs on Ars Technica, Daring Fireball, the list just keeps going, but those are a few good ones.
I use Google Reader and I am not thrilled with the iPad reader. But like one reader above, I need the syncing across multiple devices and platforms - cannot live without that.
I use feeds like CNN, Huffington Post, and tons of educational feeds - ZDNet on EdTech, and so on.
I am a memehound (if that's a word), so I am always on the BuzzFeed and Reddit feeds, as well as The Daily What.
My favorite is The Mediavore:
Slashfood and TIPB
I love Fluent Reader. Newsy, while not exactly an RSS reader, really is great for news. Pulse is also a great one.
I use Newsrack for my RSS feeds, it provides a good way to see everthing that I am interested in.
Can you guys do a rss reader compare with newsrack and some others i love the magazine rack styling of newsrack but i am digging some of the look and feel of the early edition as well.
I would love a promo code.
All the RSS feeds/news I read is either minimalism, posative thinking or tech related.
Plus it is my Bday! Ha. Hope to win one. Thanks!
I like the Mac AllTop feed. Kinda pushy but good stuff.
I like engadget, TUAW, The Cheapskate (from CNET), AutoBlog, and FanHouse.
BBC news, slashdot, reddit, macnn, to name a few...
My favorite is maskable.it's the best. Updates from all sorts of cool to weird stuff.
TiPB, MacRumors, CNN
I use Google Reader for TiPB, MacRumors, MacNN
I think this may change the way I read the news
buzzfeed always brings a smile :-)

TiPb blog of course. Other Apple related feeds include the Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, Mobile mac, and a couple of free iTunes store code giveaways (a great way to discover music.) I'm a minister, so I follow several theology related feeds from different from churches, including CNN's new Religion blog. I also receive feeds from Wired, GQ, Esquire, and the Detroit News. Reading feeds is almost a full time job. LOL.
