Quick News brings your RSS feeds to your Palm (continued)

More seriously, the software launches the update without giving you a chance to skip it, and in my tests the Cancel button often didn't work. Some of my other programs which run automatic updates either run in the background or pop up a message counting down to the update, so I can cancel if I don't want my Palm tied up.

Conclusion
I think Quick News has the potential to be outstanding, but it is currently not living up to that potential. While the base features are solid, the HotSync and updating issues make the program difficult to use. Other little quirks, such as every help button in the application bringing up a blank screen, make Quick News feel unfinished.

If the connectivity issues were fixed, I would rate Quick News a solid 4. As it stands now, its rating is 2.

OUR RATING: 2 of 5
