Replacement for Google Reader?

Google Reader is going away July 1. *insert picture of sad panda here*

I used and still use Google Reader to keep up on gaming industry news while at work and also on my Galaxy Nexus.

I'm looking for a new site/app/service that lets users check multiple RSS feeds using one account across multiple devices. (In Google Reader, when I mark all items as read through a web browser, it marks them as read on my phone, too. Very handy.)

Suggestions?
 
I've been using Feedly. It's not the same minimalist interface that Google Reader had (and I loved), but it gets the job done.

I access it from my phone (android), laptop and desktop. Items marked as read on one are marked as read on the others.

I used to use Google reader, but then life got so busy, trying to follow all those blogs became impossible. So I picked up an app called "Flipboard". You tell it what subjects you are interested in, and it finds the popular stories from those subjects and hooks you up. Plus, if there are specific sites you wish to follow, you can add them into your feeds. At first I was a little skeptical, as I care about quite a bit of tech news, but so far it has never let me down. In the year-ish I've used it, I have never missed a news story I care about, and I only check it maybe 10-15 mins a day.
 
Feedly has been working pretty well so far. I've read they're planning to release an Android widget around mid-July, so I'm hoping they'll offer a 1x1 Unread Items widget like Google Reader used to include so I can add it to my main screen.

EDIT: I've read Flipboard is great for tablets. If/when I ever get a tablet, I'll be sure to try it out. :)
