Top 10 iPhone apps - March
Free applications
Flipboard
Flipboard Inc.
Flipboard is pretty awesome, in its own words "it creates a personalized magazine out of all the content being shared with you". Flipboard works with Facebook / Twitter / Linkedin / Tumblr / Flickr / instagram / 500px & more. It reads like a onestop shop of magazines, I've been reading some cycle gear reviews on it. Also, it looks epic!
