@thetealeafXO Christmas will be here soon! :) Yes, you can add a lot more to your Flipboard than just what your friends post. We have categories full of great suggestions like National Geographic, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, The Economist and so on. Plus you can search for even more! It's very customizable. Let me know if you have questions when you have your iPad, I'm @FlipboardCM on Twitter.
No iPhone 4 version?! Come on! Smaller screen yes, but many more pixels to make.. flip-whatever- shine. By the way, went over to Best Buy today to check out the iPad2. Resolution isn't very stunning, & I'll add that both camera's are fairly poor. iPhone 5 is on the way soon guys, would be foolish to exclude millions of us small-screened iOS users.
In addition, my revised long-term 2011 iForecast, after playing on the new iPad, is this: Thud. Yawn. Repeat. IMO, wait for the 3rd generation pad
What fascinates me is the possibilities that this medium has for education, learning and teaching. Imagine what a high school teacher could do with with a simple means of aggregating relevant content from multiple sources and distributing to students.
My question is does it collect everything? Because I don't want everything. And since I follow over 600 people on Twitter it means about 1000 items per day will be on my flip board. Which really makes it useless because I can't browse all that stuff everyday. If I can pick and choose items via say Twitter by choosing specific people I follow or bookmarking specific Tweets then its perfect.
Wait a second, so this is an app that depends on your friends to keep you informed? My friends are all lame and vain. They post Lil Wayne videos and articles about stuff that I'm not interested in.
I love the idea. We'll see how it works. The toughest part about using social networks to filter content is that not all my friends are equal. Some are on my list because they are awesome friends but good lord NO I do not want to see yet another link to failblog, thanks. So, besides the heavy lifting of aggragating and presentation, this will work best for me if it also has a way to tag, filter, rate, prioritize, etc. the sources
And it my dreams it caches stuff and works offline. :)
Minority Report! O_O What great use of the iPad. I agree with those who said feed reader integration should be a part.. Then this could be a game changer for sure, if given enough shine...
@boxlightbox It's Adam Lisagor aka lonelysandwich. If you listen to his podcast (You Look Nice Today), interviews or his other pitches (such as Square), you'd find he's just a mellow kind of guy.
This is a fabulous app.... you guys have made it so easy for us to keep up with all these social network stuff. I also love this commercial the way the guy reaches up and grabs sites... well done! Because it feels just like that! You have created what I think is the perfect app for iPad. Thank you!
Adam Lisagor is a frickin genius. I love his videos. I bought the iPhone Birdhouse app after watching his video about it, knowing I might not even use it much (because I don't tweet much at all) but just because the video was so damn good.
the app is alright, in that it looks and feels cool. Def needs RSS or Google reader integration. Also needs some vertical scrolling in the flipboard. They did a great job at hyping the launch, good coverage.
Very, very cool app that was launched too soon. They don't' have the infrastructure to support the user base. However, this is the future of Twitter feeds.
Guys hate all you want. Sure these things might be expensive and similar to earlier tech but hey if I had the money I would jump on one(not literaly).
I don't think he's bored..he's just totally relaxed/at ease with this new technology in his hands..I mean, anyone who has an iPod isn't gonna flip through their apps going ":D!"
iPad haters galore... now there's a group that needs to get a life. Neat concept, going to definitely check this app out. Now carry on with your tantrums haters.
That videocalling and such has been around for YEARS!
The touchscreen was innovated by apple, but not created by, and now it's been reinnovated by HTC and blown away... The firmwares are decent at best...
The "folders" are nothing new.
I'll give them credit on the screen resolution, but seriously they "say" it's easy to read a book on there... It's not.
Multitasking is a gimme, and should have been with the first one, screw apple.
This ap is freaking amazing. The best part is when you go to the net and finish stories, you can go right back to the ap without ever really leaving the ap.
Everything is simply too complicated these days. If I like something all my friends need to know about it through 10 different media and recieve 20 other suggestions.
lol. to tell ya the truth, that really doesn't seem that revolutionary. theres thousands of social networking softwares just like that out there, maybe not as pretty.
@gekko101 The Microsoft Courier was never a real product, it was a concept created by Microsoft but it never amounted to more than a fake video and a lot of hype, Microsoft cancelled the project.
Hum.. I've got some doubts about this application. Where is it getting the articles, from links shared from friends? But then it has to know how to read the contents from that site... I saw many articles from NYTimes, maybe it has a built-in parsers for big news sources. The problem will be when it has to read less known sites... In the extended video you can see HTML code presented within the article. By the way, excellent interface and user experience.
I have seen absolutely no evidence that this is a phishing scam, and I have seen several reputable publications cheer this app, publications who would not risk endorsing a scam.
I realize it's a ridiculous expectation for people to be responsible with their comments, but don't post that something's a scam just because they ask for your information.
Oh and for all the people enjoying Aphex Twin - they were born and grew up in the village I live in in Cornwall, and they even went to the same school as me XD not at the same time, obviously, hahaha XD isn't that cool?
@adamtaro Hell Yeah! Golden Comment Adam! You know you should do more comments to heaps of people in short form. If only there was an online way to spread your word wings.
That's flippin awesome! (haaa I'm sure that hasn't been used before).... no seriously guys that's flippin' awesome! I knew I bought the ipad for a reason.
I've dreamed about this for many years, long before iPhones, iPads and iOs. Simply makes sense and is required. Thank you. Please consider developing versions for the Mac OS ... [;)]
Great looking app. Looks like the RSS reader for Mac called Times taken several steps further into your social network. Very clever thinking. Personally I like the ad too.
