Not sure how the ads are sneaky exactly… I abandoned NNW months ago because I knew ads were coming… Am now giving it another shot as it's the only client to synch with gReader, but the ads are pretty obnoxiously placed… Would prefer them inline, or an alternate paid version w/o ads (see Tweetie for examples of both…)

I also miss some of the niceties of the gReader web interface, such as perpetual scrolling… But at the same time I do generally prefer client software over web nonsense… Anyway, the new beta of NNW is worth checking out, I suppose, but I'm curious if it's too little too late…
