Frank, I fully agree with #1 and #3... but it leads me to the exactly opposite conclusion :-)

- yes, it takes some screen space, but it's often useful because some feeds have little to no content except the title. And for large posts with a lot of content you generally scroll the page anyway...

- it's only redundant because it's also in the window caption, only not so useful because you often see only a small part of it. Especially in portait mode, and of course when "scrolling marquee" is turned off (I also can't stand it :-).

- OTOH there is another useful bit of info that's often lacking from the "view post" page, especially when browsing through the "all posts from all feeds" list : the feed from which the current post came from. That name is generally shorter and would fit well in the caption.

So my personal preference (which I pompously call "the Fred mode") would be :

* feed name in the windows caption

* post title at top of page, as it is now, but not fading and scrolling with the rest...
