I've been using http://slashdot.org/palm for years now. Loads super fast... lets me read what I need, and if I really want to read more comments than the top 5, I share it to "Pocket" on android so I can read it offline next time i'm on a plane or without data.

I think for websites like /. this palm version is the direction they should go. Of course, RSS works too - just use your favorite reader.
