Official Google Reader For Android Gets An Update, v 0.9.2 Adds Widget Support

The official Google Reader application for Android has received an update, adding widget support to the ever popular RSS application.  The update now brings the app to version 0.9.2 and adds two new home screen widgets.  We think the screen shot of the update below says it all.  So, hit the break and check it out.  Check out the application on our apps database as well and don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments below.  One thing we did find interesting and worth noting is in the new permissions.  For some unknown reason, the app would like access to your contacts list.
