4 New iPhone Apps for 2012
Flipboard is one of the most downloaded iPad apps since its launch last year, and its new iPhone app has been quickly gaining traction, too. Demand for the app was so high that it reportedly crashed the company's servers as more than 1 million users downloaded Flipboard in its first week.
Flipboard is a digital magazine personalized to your tastes and interests. In an asethetically-pleasing layout similar to what you see in a printed magazine, the app displays relevant links from your social networks (Twitter and Facebook) as well as other content you might like based on your categories of choice (i.e. business, style, travel, etc.). Flipboard gradually learns what you might be interested in viewing based on your reading history, tailoring the articles you see.

Once the app populates with links, you can "flip" to the next piece of content by swiping upwards.
We found Flipboard to be one of the best content viewing and sharing apps we've seen, though the app's focus on design lends itself better to the iPad's larger screen.
