(Hoping some one will get it to market for the BT2.0 - we'd all be happy to pay :) For android I've been using Magpie RSS and some php on my server and then outputting that data as a jquerymobile html screen.

If I look at your feed, the format doesn't look the same & there are no graphics shown that I can see, even if I do a show source. I'm not sure where the process your thumbnails come from or where they are supposed to be added. Are you sure they are there?
