A free limited version along with the full featured unlock version ($1.49) of EZ Usenet is available via the Android Market.  You will need Easynews web access to make use of EasyBrowser on your Android phone / tablet.  If you’re not already a member you can sign up for a 14 day free trial.

With an Android tablet on the way we look forward to testing EZ Usenet in the near future.  In the meantime here is a list of features directly from Chillaxing Software for their Easynews EZ Usenet mobile app:
