I haven’t played with Flipboard enough (and I haven’t been able to authenticate with Twitter) to judge whether this will revolutionize my workflow or not, that’s why this is not my review. The execution seems great, too: typography is great, animations are beautiful, the app is polished and good looking overall. It’s not the first app to do that in history (remember Feedly?) but I guess it’s a first on the iPad. A magazine where comments are retweets, and you are the curator of the content you want to see. It collects links, pictures and everything else you have on Twitter and creates a magazine around them. It’s not a simple feed reader, and it’s not a photo gallery either: it’s a new way to consume content you discover online. Sure they look cool, but could this be done better?įlipboard pulls data from your Facebook and Twitter accounts and builds a “social magazine” around it. They just let you pick up some sources and read. The concept is genius, but based on simple foundations: we’re seeing all these visual news readers for iPad, but they’re impersonal. It should have gone live in a few hours, but it’s already available in the iPad App Store. Much anticipated by last week and today, Flipboard is a free News app for the iPad. I think that the second wave starts today with Flipboard. I’ve mentioned the “second wave of iPad apps” before: I think that a new generation of applications for Apple’s tablet is ready to invade the App Store to show everyone, not just its 3 million users, what the iPad was meant to be since the beginning. A few times (a very few times, actually) a new app arrives and reinvents everything you thought about a device. Sometimes a new app comes around and reinvents a genre.
