You sure could. But what good would it be? Do you think everyone loves the same 4 RSS feeds that you love? An RSS reader that is customizable makes a LOT more sense. Also, if you don't know how hard it would be, this is not the place to get started. You should start by going to android.com

The emulator doesn't simulate any specific phone. Just a generic one. Your application *should* run the same on an HTC magic as on a TMobile G1 because the hardware is very similar. The whole intention of Android is to separate the application layer sufficiently from the hardware so that yo
