Hey -

NewsGator Mobile on the iPhone is a great product - I use it all the time. I have a minor suggestion that would make my surfing experience over EDGE much better.

You're using image files to generate the dark-gray rounded 'pill' behind the unread counts. That's all fine and dandy, but I'm finding that on slow connections, about half of my download time is spent getting these 3 images. The display of the whole page is delayed while they load.

Luckily, the iPhone's webkit has a nonstandard CSS property that would allow you to get this exact effect with only 1-2 lines of CSS and no images. It's webkit-border-radius, and I think it would reproduce the look of the site with much less overhead. I know nonstandard CSS is scary, but you'll know that everyone viewing the iPhone site will have it.

Again, this is a great mobile reader, and I'm impressed how you guys have improved things over time. Thanks for making my feed reading so easy!

border-radius is a standard property, it's part of CSS3, the engine prefix (-webkit-, -moz-, etc) merely indicates that the property has not yet got right through the standards process.

You can look at http://css3.info for more info on what CSS3 properties are supported by each engine.
