RSS on UIQ

Total Wireless Solutions have released NewsFlash, an RSS reader for the UIQ platform. I've been trying to estimate the total size of my 170 or so regular RSS feeds. On average each feed seems to be anywhere from 3 to 15 K of data when it refreshes each hour or so - except for blogs like BoingBoing which include images in their RSS feed as well as blogs like EnGadget and Gizmodo which put out a very high number of articles. If we call the average 5K and we have 170 feeds, the total is about 850K downloaded for each hourly refresh. That's 5 or 10 minutes by GPRS, not great but acceptable. On the other hand it would be half a minute or so on 3G - perhaps I should be investigating 3G options when I upgrade my P800.
