I have thousands of RIL bookmarks in my account, but the one thing that kills me is that I can't see when I saved the bookmark.

My time association is much better than recalling an exact headline or site name.

Which is exactly why I use Instapaper. If you're not the one spending the money, you're the one being sold.

But unfortunatly there are no good Instapaper client for android.

Yes, that's a feature I am wishing for too. I just hit 12k links. =) Coming in faster than I can clear.

What really made me sick is that the apps were charging (and silly me I paid for it) and now it turns into a completely free product. So, I am no longer a customer.

To me, that is an odd reaction. Were you similarly sick when it was part of the 10 cent apps promotion?

Papermill? http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/23/2897938/papermill-is-the-f...

I have tried papermill. Its the most unstable app I have ever downloaded for my android phone.

I think the name Pocket is absolutely perfect. It lends itself to a really clear and understandable marketing slogan ("Don't have time to read it now? Just put it in your Pocket!") but also leaves room for how the company might grow and expand in the coming years. "What else can you put in your Pocket?"
