Since my daughter broke my Nokia E7 I have no Symbian devices left and miss the days of using that great application Gravity on them. @Janole was a great developer who tried to put into one application everything you would use socially. I used to use Gravity for Twitter, Facebook, Google Reader, Photo Sharing inline photo viewing, audio boo listening and totally loved it.

Since moving to iPhone I’ve missed Gravity in a way, having that one app you stay in constantly, well that is until Flipboard arrived.

I first started using Flipboard on my iPad as a news reader and was overjoyed when it came to the iPhone. Since its arrival on the iPhone there has been a few updates and none more amazing than the latest update which brought Soundcloud integration into Flipboard.

If you’re not using Flipboard at the moment, then why bloody not? Flipboard is the coolest way to read and view messages/photos from Flickr, Instagram, 500px, Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter and virtually anywhere on the web.

Flipboard collates all your feeds into a magazine style format which makes dull twitter timelines suddenly burst into life and colour. You can Comment, Like, Share link, Retweet, Retweet with comment, Read Later, Email Links, Flag Inappropriate, etc.. all the things you can do in your Twitter, Facebook, Google Reader, Instagram ,etc.. This is what makes Flipboard great in that it isn’t just a viewer for all these platforms, you can interact and be involved. There still isn’t notifications in Flipboard yet, but I’m hoping they come soon.

One thing missing from Flipboard is adding several feeds into one single feed (Add into a folder?), but I’ve got round this by adding my favourite say Football feeds into a folder on Google Reader and adding the folder into Flipboard. As I read the articles in Flipboard they are automatically marked as read in Google Reader, so I can keep both up to date. Cool?

Adding sound into Flipboard with Soundcloud integration has just been the icing on the cake for me (well I’ll come in my pants if they add Spotify integration), I can listen to all my tracks and still move around Flipboard reading articles and easily manage my tunes by touching the music symbol, hell I can even comment on the tune I’m listening to in Soundcloud and easily share with my friends.

Go get Flipboard if you haven’t got it already for your iPhone, iPad and now Android devices, then comeback and tell me if I was right or not?
