Abstract

A mobile wireless communications device includes a processor cooperating with a wireless transceiver for communicating with a remote server to search a markup language file of at least one web page stored on a remote web server to determine addresses of a plurality of web feeds on the at the least one web page. The processor also cooperates with an input device and a display to display on the display a list of the plurality of web feeds and to generate a list of selected web feeds based upon the input device. Information from the selected web feeds is downloaded using the wireless transceiver and based upon respective addresses of the selected web feeds. The downloaded information from the selected web feeds is displayed on the display.

Claims

1. A mobile wireless communications device comprising:

an input device;

a display;

a wireless transceiver; and

a processor cooperating with said wireless transceiver for communicating with a remote server to search a markup language file of at least one web page stored on the remote web server to determine addresses of a plurality of web feeds on the at the least one web page;

said processor also cooperating with said input device and said display to

display on said display a list of the plurality of web feeds,

generate a list of selected web feeds from the plurality thereof based upon said input device,

download information from the selected web feeds using said wireless transceiver and based upon respective addresses of the selected web feeds, and

display on said display the downloaded information from the selected web feeds.

2. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 1 wherein said processor also cooperates with said wireless transceiver for communicating with the remote server to search the markup language file of the at least one web page stored on the remote web server to determine addresses of new web feeds on the at the least one web page.

3. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 2 wherein said processor also cooperates with said wireless transceiver to determine addresses of the new web feeds based upon said input device.

4. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 2 wherein said processor also cooperates with said wireless transceiver to determine addresses of the new web feeds based upon an update schedule.

5. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 2 wherein said processor also cooperates with said input device and said display to

display on said display a list of the new web feeds;

generate a list of selected new web feeds based upon said input device; and

update the list of selected web feeds based upon the selected new web feeds.

6. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 1 wherein said processor also cooperates with said wireless transceiver for communicating with the remote server to search the markup language file of the at least one web page stored on the remote web server to determine removed web feeds on the at the least one web page.

7. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 6 wherein said processor also cooperates with said wireless transceiver to determine the removed web feeds based upon said input device.

8. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 6 wherein said processor also cooperates with said wireless transceiver to determine the removed web feeds based upon an update schedule.

9. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 6 wherein said processor also cooperates with said input device and said display to

display on said display a list of the removed web feeds;

generate a list of selected removed web feeds based upon said input device; and

update the list of selected web feeds based upon the selected removed web feeds.

10. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 1 wherein the markup language file comprises at least one of an XML file and an HTML file.

11. A mobile wireless communications device comprising:

an input device;

a display;

a wireless transceiver; and

a processor cooperating with said wireless transceiver for communicating with a remote server to search a markup language file of at least one web page stored on the remote web server to determine addresses of a plurality of web feeds on the at the least one web page;

said processor also cooperating with said input device and said display to

display on said display a list of the plurality of web feeds,

generate a list of selected web feeds from the plurality thereof based upon said input device,

download information from the selected web feeds using said wireless transceiver and based upon respective addresses of the selected web feeds, and

display on said display the downloaded information from the selected web feeds;

said processor also cooperating with said wireless transceiver to communicate with the remote server to search the markup language file of the at least one web page stored on the remote web server to determine addresses of new web feeds on the at the least one web page and to determine removed web feeds of the at least one web page.

12. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 11 wherein said processor also cooperates with said wireless transceiver to determine addresses of the new web feeds and the removed web feeds based upon said input device.

13. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 11 wherein said processor also cooperates with said wireless transceiver to determine addresses of the new web feeds and the removed web feeds based upon an update schedule.

14. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 11 wherein said processor also cooperates with said input device and said display to

display on said display a list of the new web and the removed web feeds feeds;

generate a list of selected new web feeds and the removed web feeds based upon said input device; and

update the list of selected web feeds based upon the selected new web feeds and selected removed web feeds.

15. The mobile wireless communications device of claim 11 wherein the markup language file comprises at least one of an XML file and an HTML file.

16. A method of displaying at least one web feed on a mobile wireless communications device comprising a wireless transceiver, a display, and an input device, the method comprising:

searching a markup language file of at least one web page stored on a remote web server using the wireless transceiver to determine addresses of a plurality of web feeds on the at the least one web page;

displaying a list of the plurality of web feeds on the display;

generating a list of selected web feeds from the plurality thereof based upon the input device;

downloading information from the selected web feeds using the wireless transceiver and based upon respective addresses of the selected web feeds; and

displaying on the display the downloaded information from the selected web feeds.

17. The method of claim 16 further comprising communicating with the remote server to search the markup language file of at least one web page stored on the remote web server to determine addresses of new web feeds on the at the least one web page.

18. The method of claim 17 wherein addresses of the new web feeds are determined based upon the input device.

19. The method of claim 17 addresses of the new web feeds are determined based upon an update schedule.

20. The method of claim 17 further comprising:

displaying on the display a list of the new web feeds;

generating a list of selected new web feeds based upon the input device; and

updating the list of selected web feeds based upon the selected new web feeds.

21. The method of claim 16 further comprising communicating with the remote server to search the markup language file of at least one web page stored on the remote web server to determine removed web feeds on the at the least one web page.

22. The method of claim 21 wherein the removed web feeds are determined based upon the input device.

23. The method of claim 21 wherein the removed web feeds are determined based upon an update schedule.

24. The method of claim 21 further comprising:

displaying on the display a list of the removed web feeds;

generating a list of selected removed web feeds based upon the input device; and
