Features of my app:

a)It only presents you textonly version of any article (Only content)

b) Less data usage for users as the content is cached on my servers (Only necessary content would be displayed..No need to load images,css etc.,)

c) Less hosting costs for website owners (Again content is cached on my site)

d)No need for RSS feed, just enter the url --->Click on article ---> start reading

It's bit like readability..The basic difference between mine and readability is you need to input a url for readability whereas for mine it's not..You don't need RSS feed for reading articles,Enter any site's url and you can read only the content from articles,Here is a couple of screenshots for TechCrunch (It displays only the content of the article)

When I am saving data usage for users and giving them a good interface to read articles on mobile phones (android) why shouldn't I get a pitch?

If you need try it out here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.spacenext.textonly...

It works with most of the sites(80%) except the sites which have been coded badly...
