"Java for example allows you to access the local filesystem (provided your applet is signed and the user gives it appropriate permissions). As far as I know, you can't still do that with javascript. However, that is not related to how widely Java is currently used. It may influence how much the java plugin will be used in future, but not how much it is used at present time."

I don't know, I used MobileRSS on iPhone as well until Google introduced the "sort by magic" option on the Mobile web interface.
- Alessandro Bahgat
Well I've been using RSS Flash G which is a very fine client but my patience is wearing thin waiting on them to support Sort by Magic. I don't want to rely on the Google Mobile interface so I've been searching like mad. Previously I've used My6Sense and their tech is quite impressive but the iPhone client is a bit lacking and only imports GoogleReader, it doesn't actually sync.

Wow, RSS Flash G looks great! Too bad they don't support magic sorting, but I'm sure they'll fix that soon enough.

Well I've been in touch with the developers and they say they will be adding it. Oddly this client seems to be overlooked in most of the newsreader review round-ups but I'd highly recommend it. It's "big in japan" apparently.

Smush.it uses optimization techniques specific to image format to remove unnecessary bytes from image files. It is a "lossless" tool, which means it optimizes the images without changing their look or visual quality. After Smush.it runs on a web page it reports how many bytes would be saved by optimizing the page's images and provides a downloadable zip file with the minimized image files. Do not link to the smushed images on Smushit.com since they will only be available there temporarily. Instead, download the zip file containing the smushed images for your web page and replace your image files with those files.
