>> "News.me and Instapaper - Sync your articles to your phone as you leave your house, so that when you're underground on the train, you have all your content right there"
That's not really a feature, it's more of a hack. The only reason Instapaper does this (not sure about News.me but I assume it's the same) is to get around background downloading restrictions on iOS. It's the only was to activate the app and download articles in the background. I'm sure they would much prefer to just check the server every 5 minutes and download new articles without the user having to set their location.
