Visual news app for the iPhone and Android, Pulse News, has been recently updated with new features and other tweaks that make the app faster. Without further ado, here’s what version 2.0 brings:
- Three times more sources – instead of 20, now you can select up to 60 news sources across five customizable pages. Moving sources between pages is as easy as drag and drop.
- It’s faster – improved performance means sources update and images load faster, while scrolling is smoother and more fluid.
- Social feeds are now available both on the iPhone and Android. You can pull content from Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Digg, Reddit and Hacker News (Y Combinator’s social news feed), as well as like, share and comment on Facebook content from within the Pulse app.
- New discovery features – including “Pulse pack” to auto-populate an entire page with the top sources for pretty much any given subject, and “Featured Sources” where Pulse spotlights new and interesting publishers.
- Improved Sharing tools – Pulse 2.0 integrates Facebook, Twitter and email sharing contextually within each story.

Dusan Belic
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.
