Do you mean usenet reader or rss reader? It seems that RSS readers have now
taken the term newsreader sadly.

Anyway whatever you mean, I use Quenetsoft Newsreader for usenet. Its not
brilliant but its one of the only few out there. Its quite slow to download
groups and update messages.
I use Newscopier for RSS. Theres quite alot of RSS readers out there, but
have found Newscopier to be the best for my needs.

I don't know if it's any good, but right now, iAmbic is giving awat
TopStory for the PPC. They bill it as an RSS Newsreader.

Again, I have not installed or used it, so I cannot comment on it, but
maybe someone who has can.

Take a look at A4 pocket newsreader. I had problems installing it, but you
might have better luck.
