Google rolls out new Reader for the iPhone

We all love the iPhone as we love Google Reader. Now there’s one more reason to love using both, as Google just launched a spanking new Reader made specifically for the iPhone. The new version of the iPhone Google Reader mimics the same feel as you were using the desktop version. Google Reader users who are familiar with the list view when browsing their RSS subscription on their desktop via the Google Reader would be glad to know that the iPhone version sports the same functionality. It’s as simple as tapping the Reader links to expand and read the entire items, right on your iPhone’s display screen.

In addition to this, users could also use the other features of the regular desktop Google Reader. They can star, share and keep unread items without leaving the list view. The Reader page refreshes automatically whenever any of these three actions are performed. That takes care of the Google Reader’s speed and ease of use on the iPhone.

What was not mentioned though was whether the Reader for the iPhone will be synchronized with the Google Reader desktop. We might as well try it out to find out for ourselves whether marking an item via the iPhone Google Reader would reflect the said mark on its desktop counterpart.
