Do you want to use javascript to read the rss or make a phonegap plugin ? Maybe I could help you make this done

vrunoa, I think the phonegap plugin would be the best method. I can use the Google-feed api to read a rss feed. I need to send my user and password to a protected server to pull the xml base feed. Thank you.
