Ben - if you enable landscape mode in Settings and turn the iPhone/Touch to landscape - you can see much more of the titles.

While Byline doesn't have a folder for shared items, your friends' shared items do show up in the "New Items" folder. Would be nice if a shared items folder did show up though.
And while we're requesting features, I'd love to see an option to star items from the list itself, rather than having to open the item.

Thanks. Did that. Although landscape does reveal more of the headline, it still truncates the long ones. But that's really a minor quibble -- I hope it didn't come off as anything more than that in the review. I'm still alternating between Byline and Newsstand this week, and culling my feeds. Byline is very good, but still think I like Newsstand better.

A couple of big problems for heavy feed users here. 200 articles is not enough for me. Also, Byline dumps all the articles in a folder into a single stream (you can't read one feed at a time). Dopplr solves both these problems. But there's still no great GoogleReader-compatible offline feed reader. There's room for innovation here....
