Are you addicted to your feeds at Google Reader? If yes, then please read on: Announcing a small desktop widget for Google Reader. (Note: It can be found in Extras-devel so test it at your own risk.)

Dependencies: libqt4-maemo5-core, libqt4-maemo5-gui, libqt4-maemo5-xml, libqt4-maemo5-network should cover it.

It will show you the total unread count of your feeds and by tapping it open you the google reader to read it.

Some features:

- Settings dialog for google reader settings
- User definable poll time (in minutes)
- Shortcut to open the google reader page

Known issues: since this is made with Qt (4.6.2.) there are limitations to the desktop "experience". The application is launched from the application menu and will load it to the desktop. The application also needs a tap for focus, before you can tap it again to open the google reader page.

Cannot post screenshots right now, maybe later.

What do you guys think? Does it work? Is it useful? Needed improvements? Let's here it!
