Ive since found this: "The Google Data APIs Objective-C Client Library provides an iPhone static library, a Mac OS X framework, and source code that make it easy to access data through Google Data APIs. " code.google.com/p/gdata-objectivec-client - which is great! It doesn't include the Reader API however (because it's not been released).

I have been able to access the API by changing (in the OAuthSampleTouch example)

NSString *scope = @"http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/";

in OAuthSampleRootViewControllerTouch.m to

NSString *scope = @"http://www.google.com/reader/api/*";

and

urlStr = @"http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/thin";

to

urlStr = @"http://www.google.com/reader/atom/user/-/label/Design";

where Design is a folder name - check this http://code.google.com/p/pyrfeed/wiki/GoogleReaderAPI its a great help.
