Flipboard, that awesome social magazine app for the iPad, has been updated recently with several new features and few improvements. Here’s what the version 1.0.2 brings:
- More sections – you can add up to 21 sections to your Flipboard, and remove accounts that you don’t use.
- Faster launch – thanks to some kind of content caching (limited offline browsing).
- Fresher content – automatic refresh when new content is ready. Loads more pages when you get close to the end of a section.
- Smarter page layouts – web page snapshots are shown when text preview isn’t available.
- Better recommendations – improved recommended sections and added custom feeds.
- Other features – retweet with comment, more reliable video playback, view original web page for cover images, better Facebook feed fidelity.
And that’s about it. If you own an iPad and want a really easy and cool way to keep up with what your friends are reading and/or doing across social networks, Flipboard is the way to go. You can grab it free of charge from a link below.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
