I had a request that I make it available to get the news from my website at
www.theclarion.org
on blackberry's today. So my question is, is there a component or module or plugin that would allow me to feed the latest news to people via their cell phone?
Sounds like you have almost answered the question by asking it. 'Feed' the news to their phones. Most phones these days, java based and definately symbiam / os based, can have some form of RSS feeding.
Link to the RSS related joomla extensions
extensions.joomla.org/component/option,c...t_id,1801/Itemid,35/
Also keep in mind the PDA mambot that can detect if the browser is PDA or mobile phone based, and it can then select the correct template, Link here

I have a blackberry but I don't know if you can do what your asking but its very possible to do it via RSS if you check the blackberryforums.com there is a rss reader software for the blackberry. But this requires the user to download a program to there blackberry not just but having it on there already.
There is so many RSS feeders I dont know what to choose really. I have my site RSS'd already with Joomla standard one's.
Any other advice to which one is best and what all I need to install and setup would be appreciated.
Im not sure what the best RSS reader is for joomla since I have yet to install one but im pretty sure it they will interact with the blackberry software. There is a rss reader that you blackberry user would need to download do you have a blackberry if you dont I do and I wouldnt minde to help you test it out. here is the rss reader that you person would need to put on there blackberry it only supports rss 0.91 as of now

Hey man, my site is
www.theclarion.org
Test some of the RSS now and see what I have to do. Maybe I need to install the rss version the latest blackberry's will use.
