The Chinese edition of Flipboard is no longer something only iPad owners can enjoy – it’s now also available for iPhone and iPod Touch users. Similarly to the U.S./international version, the iPhone app uses a vertical flip so that the content can be accessed even when holding the phone in one hand. Simply thumb-swipe up to flip through articles and if you spot something interesting, tap to slide the story open and swipe back to return to where you left off.
Moreover, the Chinese Flipboard doesn’t work with Facebook but with local social networks like Sina Weibo and Renren, both of which are popular in the world’s most populous country. However, the core functionality remains intact, allowing you to access updates and photos from your social circle.
Rest of the features are pretty much the same (when compared to the international version of Flipboard) and you’ll be getting nicely-formatted news based on your interests…
To download Flipboard for the Chinese market, simply search for it in your local App Store and take it from there.

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.
