Default Free News Reader - Kind of OT

Hi all

Can anyone recommend a replacement for my current newsreader Sina App?

I've been using it for years, but more often than not recently the
scroll option freezes so I can't read the second half of long
posts without moving to google groups.


I'm really confused by why, for a long time since java apps on
blackberries and earlier PDA's, it's been difficult to find a decent
newsreader app for both tablets and mobile phones - without resorting to
google groups, which is, uuuughhh...

Thread display and navigation seems to be the challenge on a small screen.

Why? Usenet news works *very* well in an 80 column text window so I
really can't see why a very similar text interface shouldn't work on a
mobile or tablet.
