You can easily flip through the many pages of social news with just a single swipe of your finger. At any time, you can tap on one photo or news item to make it full-screen and read further.
In this view, you can comment on articles, reply to the original poster via Twitter or, if you’re looking through links from Facebook, hit the all-important ‘like’ button.
Some of the new features outlined today in the new update will include a much better social search for Facebook, Facebook Groups, Twitter, Flickr and Google Reader with the results displayed in Flipboard’s magazine-style layout, Instagram integration, faster rendering and two new partners (Wired.com and photo blog Pictory).
There’s also some clever UI changes including a clearer way to refresh content and a new featured ribbon to highlight editors’ picks.
You’ll be able to grab the new Flipboard this Friday on the current iPad and we’d bet lots of people will open it as one of the first apps to oggle on the iPad 2.
Flipboard is due to be released tomorrow so will you be trying it out?
