Flipboard – App of the Year 2010Flipboard has become part of my morning routine.
Flipboard bills itself as your personalised ‘social magazine’.
The content of the magazine is determined by you – you decide what to put in each of the Flipboard panels. You can include your favourite web sites (via RSS feeds), the people you follow on twitter, and your facebook page.
The Flipboard interface uses the full potential of the iPad to display the stories in a most engaging way. It really does look spectacular and is a delight to use.
Some publishers – including Lonely Planet, All Things Digital and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition (!) – have produced special Flipboard content that adds more display options. Flipboard also provides some recommended reading panels as default options.
Flipboard was judged by Apple to be the App of 2010. It is a free download from the App Store iPad App Link
