As reported back in August, the Flipboard app for iPhone and iPod touch has finally been released. You can now download Flipboard for iPhone and iPod touch from the iTunes App Store.
Dubbed as Apple’s iPad App of the Year as well as making it on TIME’s list of top 50 innovations of 2010, Flipboard app has been insanely popular on the iPad. People all around the world use it to literally flip through content on their social feeds such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Instagram. Apart from that, users can also catch up on their Google Reader feeds as well as news from a variety of sources that Flipboard itself lists in the app. Flipboard has previously been exclusive only to the iPad however now they have finally released Flipboard for iPhone and iPod touch, bringing content flipping goodness to the world's favorite smartphone and portable music player.
The features of Flipboard for iPhone are pretty much similar to its iPad counterpart however there are some minute differences. Given the relatively small screen real estate on the iPhone, instead of using your fingers to swipe as you would on the iPad, Flipboard for iPhone requires that you use your thumb for all swiping gestures. A new feature called Cover Stories is currently exclusive to Flipboard for iPhone. Cover Stories picks up interesting news from all of your feeds and displays them in one swipe-able montage of sorts.
Flipboard for iPhone is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch 3G and iPod touch 4G provided that they're running iOS 4.0 firmware or higher. The best part about this amazing app is that it costs absolutely nothing. It's free.
