Popular iPad app Flipboard has finally made its way to the iPhone. The iPhone version takes the elegant simplicity of the iPad version and brings it to the smaller screen. Just like the iPad, the iPhone version lets you read articles in your news stream using a magazine-style interface. The articles are easy to read and beautifully presented. It’s one of the best reading experiences you can find on the iPhone.

The iPhone version also adds a new feature called Cover Stories. Cover Stories are articles chosen from your news feed that appear on a dedicated page within the app. You can select which feeds appear in your Cover stories which makes it perfect for getting a quick glimpse of  your favorite news. Cover Stories is available on the iPhone and will hit the iPad soon. If you use the app on both the iPad and the iPhone, you’ll want to sign up for a Flipboard account which will let you sync information between the two devices.  You can grab Flipboard for the iPhone for free from the App Store and sign up for an account from within the app.
