- I've been playing with the new mp3 flash player in Bloglines recently, and I was surprised to find that it works relatively well on the 770. It uses a lot of memory on the device, but it plays songs and podcasts pretty smoothly none the less.

After playing some tunes and a podcast, I realized that the built-in RSS reader on the 770 should have this feature (or at least an option in the application's settings to enable/disable it). At the moment, If you want to stream an mp3 and you are in the RSS reader, the link opens up a browser window first and pop-up to save/open the file. Then, if you open the file it opens up the audio player. That's three applications that are using up precious memory and CPU resources.
