Viigo’s new Tango program looks like it will release on June 16 according to their teaser page that includes screen shots that promises a new interface, channels for weather, sports, flight status, reviews, news and excitingly podcasts. The interface looks sexy, cool and most importantly easy to navigate. Clearly Viigo’s trying to bring a little iPhone to the BlackBerry and simplifying access to the new services that they are offering while still maintaining their core RSS reading capability.

Unfortunately Mark Ruddock, Viigo CEO, has stated that “the first Tango release will not have Google Read/Write synchronization enabled.” That’s a feature that I have been really looking forward to and until it’s there I’ll still have a roving eye on the lookout for new RSS reading options for my BlackBerry.

It seems like the wait might be a while since Ruddock is focusing on the UI platform that “will allow us to evolve Viigo much more rapidly than ever before….Future releases will work on improving the RSS service itself (including major improvements to MyViigo on the web).” Sounds to me like new services may be added before full Google Reader integration is added (sigh), but lord knows their website needs a boost.

The tease is enough to get me interested and add a chicklet to my site in order to buy a little love from Viigo and hope to be included in the beta. Come on guys’ give me a little love!
