RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the "recent changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.
RSS-aware programs called news aggregators are popular in the weblogging community. Many weblogs make content available in RSS. A news aggregator can help you keep up with all your favorite weblogs by checking their RSS feeds and displaying new items from each of them.
In short, you can type in an RSS link into the prgram, and when you hotsync or do it OTA (over the air) it will refresh all of the news for that feed. So for instance wheny you go to a website you will see this orange icon which means there is an RSS feed available.
This prgram will allow you to get the news you want without going to each website. For instance I track certain sports teams (feeds are from yahoo) Google news, MSNBC, Yahoo, Beer, Nutrition, and what ever else I feel like I want to read news on. You can also see a small pic too if images are inabled, and you can download and listen to podcasts too with QuickNews.

Like on Yahoo, when you hover over the RSS icon in top stories, you should see a link at the bottom of your browser.
http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories this is what you would type into QuickNews for a new feed, and bam, you have Yahoo top stories on your palm.
