DISQUS

Man, are you kidding me? That's exactly what I wrote http://newsrob.com for.

It synchronizes with Google Reader and dwonloads the web pages including the assets to your g1, so that you not only can read it offline? But also can read partial feeds' full content.

It also syncs two-way etc....

Done! You've shamed me into finding the relevant option.

Excellent news. Cheers Paul.

I wrote NewsRob (http://newsrob.com) for Android to deal exactly with that. It synchronizes with Google Reader and downloads the full content as web page including assets and makes it available offline. It also sync read-/shared-/starred-state in both directions with Google Reader.

Sounds interesting, I'll take a look.

I guess it's a great ideal to have that across the web. People still think that because content is in a structured format, people will steal content easily. This happens quite a lot - its funny how spam emails contain blog post content to look legitimate. Plus the republishing problem for high quality content is always around - someone steal your posts, then wraps ads around them as their own. So ideally, this would be awesome. It would also mean devices like the Kindle, etc. could actually show you the whole post without fiddling with just teasers. What we need is some kind of watermark/fingerprint to ensure content is not stolen verbatim. Having said that, if people want to - they can scrape your site. So many issues ;-)
