As I’ve stated a couple times, I use MobileRSS for my {en:Google Reader} client on the iPhone.

One of the features I like is the ability to add a page to Read it Later. However, to do this I have to open the page before I can mark it to read later.

This doesn’t sound like much, but when you’re on the train and signal is tweak, it can take up much of the journey opening the page. And if I’m reading a good post with lots of interesting links out (Nat Torkinson’s Four Short Links series is an excellent example) then I can kiss goodbye to that journey. Not only that, but it interrupts your flow of reading the article.

What would be much better is to have the option of pressing and holding a link, and along with the option to ‘Open’ and ‘Copy’, you could also have the option to ‘Read it Later’. It should be a simple feature to add, but a very useful one at that.
