Looks like Apple has developed an RSS reader for iPhone at reader.mac.com. Who wants to spoof their user agent string and see if they can get into this bad boy?
curl -A “Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A538a Safari/419” http://reader.mac.com/
It’s not that great… Just looks like a smaller web version of the Safari RSS reader with no features except of parsing the xml file (for example, you can’t set the displayed length of the entries or limit them to a specific date).

Doesn’t tell very much, though…

At first, spoofing the user agent string is necessary (see the comment by Ville Säävuori ). You can also do this with Firefox and the User Agent Switcher Plugin. Then, navigate to http://reader.mac.com/mobile/v1/[URL of the xml file]. For example: http://reader.mac.com/mobile/v1/http://wdirect.apple.com/home/2007/ticker.rss

Here‘s a photo of it in Safari on Mac OS X.
