How to get Free UK Traffic alerts on PocketPC with Web n' Walk

Well as i have the T-mobile web and walk i was thinking what could i do to make it more usefull to me and last night i was looking at the Highways agency and noticed that they have traffic alerts on the web site with a really cool map.
I started to think that it would be nice to right an application to interface with it to show on the MDA, and the then i noticed that it had an RSS feed.
So here is the thing to do
Download PRSSreader

Then add the following url
http://www.highways.gov.uk/rssfeed.rss.xml

then set the options to cache and update every 15minutes and and you then get all the latest highways agencys traffic updates. for a list of rss feeds for your area look here
