Winksite Usability 
I really like Winksite, I'm working on a full review of the site, and they do so many things so well that I feel bad about critizing their RSS reader. If you don't know Winksite, it's a true pioneer mobile institution. It's made it extremely easy to make a mobile edition of your blog. You can create a new blog on Winksite (editable via WEB or WAP!) or enter your feed url and let Winksite create a mobile blog site from it. Your "mobilized" blog will be accessible from WAP1, WAP2, i-Mode, PDA and even desktop browsers. Did I mention it's free too! The list of bloggers hosting their mobile blogs on Winksite reads like a who's-who of blogging's stars, Om Malik, MobHappy, Smart Mobs, Mobile Jones just to name a few. You can also build simple WAP sites combining static text pages, your own or other peoples feeds, a guest book, chat and surveys. All this without having to write any code.
Winksite's RSS aggregator is also nearly perfect. The UI features a clean index that lists the titles and nothing else. Numeric shortcuts to the items are provided on every device that supports them. Full item content is shown paginated and you can also get to a transcoded version of the original blog - something you'll need if you read partial feeds like MobileRead or the BBC. There is only one thing that could be improved. Winksite doesn't give any indication of which feeds have unread items. I read a number of feeds that aren't updated daily - when using Winksite I have to go into each one to see if it has anything new. This wastes a significant amount of time on a slow mobile connection. I'm suspect it would be a lot of work to retrofit an unread items indicator into Winksite's code but it sure would be nice. Even as it is, Winksite ties with Feedalot as the best Mobile RSS aggregator available today.
