I'm the developer of Lector [1]. We're squashing some bugs to our first public release this week, but I can get people accounts if they want to try it first and give us feedback. It's going to be paid though.

We have a focus similar to Digg's reader: our product is simple, fast and aimed at power users. I hope people like it.

Been using NewsBlur and I been liking it so far.

Totally agree; it's been great with ~ 100 feeds.

From the comments: "iphone/ipad app is done and will launch on the same day as the web. android will follow by a few weeks."

I hope Digg Reader will be simple and usable product, because there aren't many quality replacements for Google Reader. I have to say that I transitioned successfully from Reader to Gwene (RSS/Atom to Usenet News gateway) so I can read articles in any Usenet reader (I use new Opera Mail). Unfortunately AFAIK Gwene doesn't support import from Google Reader, but that shouldn't become an obstacle for people with modest amount of subscriptions.
