Since its first release on the iPad, the Flipboard app has been one of those applications that has got nothing but acclaim and applause. The app works to aggregate your favorite twitter feeds as well as other social media feeds and gives them a digest sort of feel complete with truly breathtaking photos. The best way to tell when an app is at the top of its game is when other apps are constantly trying to tackle what they do and there are plenty of applications that have tried to do the same thing Flipboard does without the same success.
Now there are rumors that Flipboard will attempt to set itself apart from other aggregation apps even further by adding video from television shows and movies as well. Of course those who are getting all excited about the free Flipboard app bringing streaming videos should settle down just a little bit. While the app developers do appear to be looking into it, they say there won’t be any large scale testing of that kind of use until the end of the year so it’s going to several months before we have that capability to look forward to.
At the same time, Flipboard CEO Mike McCue says that the application would also like to be able to integrate eBooks into the application. Looking to get eBooks into Flipboard is another move that isn’t anywhere close to being on the horizon, but if the company makes moves in those directions, 2012 could be a very interesting year for Flipboard and its users.
