Aggregating your various feeds into Nokia's web browser

Everyone uses RSS nowadays, right? RIGHT? haha...
Well as we know Nokia's web browser allows for RSS feeds, albeit slightly crippled..what if i want to have feeds for the 5 blogs, 3 tech sites, 2 car sites, etc showing on the homescreen?

So i've been looking around, and discovered a site that explained on Yahoo! Pipes. As the web browser only allows you for one feed slot as a widget, this basically allows you to gather a collection of rss feeds and combine them into one single feed.

1. Add your various feeds
2. filter them (choose 5 newest only, etc)
3. combine them

all you need to do after that is to just choose RSS View and copy the shortcut into your Web RSS. Add that as a widget and you're good to go!

interestingly the rss widget, and opening the browser to read the rss feeds takes up very little RAM. impressive!

For a more detailed howto, you can visit the site here.

cheers!
