Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"Flipboard, the iPad app of the year, was updated tonight with several new features. Flickr support was added to the personal, news-based magazine in addition to support for Google Reader."

I may end up using the free iPad app Flipboard more now that they have Google Reader capability. You can also browse friend's Flickr stream and the best part of all is that you can now update your status to Twitter, Facebook and Google accounts simultaneously.

"Reeder, one of the best RSS readers for iOS devices, has just landed on the Mac. It's still in the draft stage, but it's got all the features that make the mobile version awesome. It pulls your feeds straight from Google Reader, making initial set-up extremely quick and easy. Integration with sharing and bookmarking services also carries over from the iOS version of Reeder: Instapaper, Read It Later, Delicious, and sharing via email are all included, along with several others."

Reeder is my favorite RSS reader for the iPad, and now it's available for OS X. I've been using it all day rather than Google Reader, and I have to say, I love it just as much as the iPad version. It requires a Google Reader account (you currently can't manage feeds using Reeder), but if you already have one, you're good to go. Reeder for OS X is currently in beta and for now, it's free.
