ReadAir - Another Easy Way to Read Your Google Reader RSS Feeds on your Desktop

Of course, you can use Google Reader offline with Gears or by using Google Chrome, but have a look at this new project called ReadAir.
ReadAir, a project still in development and can be downloaded from Google Code, provides an easy way to access your Google Reader RSS feeds on your desktop. It focuses on getting your feeds to you when you want it. You won’t have the extra social aspects like sharing and commenting on articles, but it is a great way to quickly read over your feeds from your desktop. (via)
