While I understand that there may be different unread counts between the different clients, the behaviour I'm seeing is that the iPhone client simply isn't noticing when the desktop NetNewsWire client marks items as read.
I generally get my unread count down to zero every day. My problems with seeing the same articles twice on the iPhone led me to this experiment:
1. I checked NetNewsWire on the Mac and on the iPhone, and their unread counts were similar, if not the same
2. I closed down NetNewsWire on the iPhone and on the Mac
3. I restarted NetNewsWire on the Mac
4. I read all the unread articles in NetNewsWire on my Mac
5. I closed NetNewsWire on the Mac
6. I checked with the website that the unread count is zero (i.e. NetNewsWire on the Mac successfully synced its unread count with the NewsGator server, I presume)
7. I fired up NetNewsWire on the iPhone
8. I watched it go through its "Syncing read/unread status..." stage in a suspiciously short amount of time (around a second)
9. All the articles that were unread in it before are still unread in it.
As I've noticed that I'm reading things twice quite a lot, my suspicion is that my iPhone client never notices when the unread count is changed on other clients.
Any ideas?
Ta,
Matt

| Are you running behind a proxy server or anything like that? It could be intercepting some requests.

Can't speak for the times when I'm just on 3G, although I've not noticed my service provider (O2 in the UK) doing anything odd to my connection with any other apps. But I've definitely noticed the problem when syncing from my home network (just a Belkin N1 between me and the world, no proxying by my ISP.)
Hang on, I'll try again. I'm at home right now.
Just synced the iPhone, and I've got 84 unread articles. Firing up NetNewsWire on the Mac, I can see 93, which is fair enough. So, I'll read everything on the Mac. Right, done that, and quit, so it synced the read/unread status. If I check the web interface, it shows I have no unread articles.
So, out with the iPhone. I open NetNewsWire, sync... and I have 45 unread articles.
Okay, so that's quite odd. The unread count changed, but it's not in sync with the server. I just checked a few "unread" articles on the iPhone, and they definitely include articles I just read in NetNewsWire.
Maybe it's getting halfway through the unread/read sync and falling over for some reason?

Hey guys,
I went to the newsgator.com and I see that iPhone DOES sync, but to newsgator.com. Mac client also DOES sync, but to Google Reader.
They both DO sync, but quite independently, using different databases.
I deleted iPhone app, installed it again, but see the same behavior.
So, I think, one of the clients needs to be fixed. I never saw such a behavior before recent transition.
Thanks.
iPhone 2G, NNW for mac 3.2b14

Yeah, this is a known issue during the current transition from newsgator.com to Google Reader for all the web-based reading, and syncing. Apparently the iPhone app will be updated.
On the other hand, this means you can use any iPhone app that syncs with Google Reader (I'm using Byline, which seems very good), or use Google Reader's web interface, which I'm told is a much better experience than newsgator.com on iPhone...

That's a great point about the Iphone app. Google reader will be even more effective in the coming weeks as the windows 7 operating system comes out and includes the ip address functions.
