NewsGator's Brent Simmons, creator of NetNewsWire (for Mac & for the iPhone) has created a nifty little iPhone app for one of NewsGator's investors, Brad Feld.  For those of  you who don't know Brad, he's a Colorado-based early stage investor and entrepreneur, and is on NewsGator's Board of Directors.  His blog features incisive insight that is sure to be of interest for anyone interested in startups, entrepreneurship, investments, technology, and more.

Why do I mention the Feld iPhone App?  Because it is a fine example of the types of robust, customizable branded iPhone apps that NewsGator can build for your company -- like the recently released Variety.com iPhone app -- based off the very successful NetNewsWire iPhone app.  As Brad explains on his blog:

"When the iPhone first came out, Brent Simmons created an iPhone version of NetNewsWire which was dynamite.  He iterated quickly on this and realized that it could be the core of an iPhone app business built on top of the NewsGator / NetNewsWire framework.  This has resulted in a new product for NewsGator – the NewsGator iPhone App Framework.  They needed a “test app” to harden the framework and I quickly volunteered (ah – the special privileges of a nerdy early investor.) The result is the Brad Feld iPhone app, but more importantly a deep iPhone app dev framework."
