Re: Reeder, I'd highly recommend gReader (Pro), especially the new Holo beta available on their website. Super slick without being anywhere near over the top of visual effects and has all of the features that any RSS reader I've seen has had. I went through numerous RSS readers to finally find it and be quite happy with it. (Frankly, Google's Reader app is an embarrassment, but then again Google Voice continues to more or less be an eyesore.)
I'll check out gReader Pro. Thanks for the tip. I agree about Google's reader app. It's horrible, but that's what I've been using so far.
As an aside, I'll say that I've been trying out Google Voice and continue to find it a little confusing and hard to use. As a developer, I understand a lot of the tradeoffs and limitations, but even with that knowledge it's been confusing.
It seems to work quite well for what it does, but I can't help feeling that much of it must address use cases I don't have. Specifically voice mail transcription is something I care almost nothing about, just as I barely ever used visual voice mail on the iPhone.
