- Google plans to challenge Flipboard with its free news reader, available for tablets and phones from the Android Market or iTunes App Store.
- Formerly codenamed Propeller, the newly named Currents app provides a “more magazine like reading experience,” with, of course, Google+ integration.
- “The free app offers you a swipeable, graphics-heavy way to read material from partners like AllThingsD, PBS, Huffington Post and Fast Company, as well as public Google+ feeds and RSS,” reports Engadget. “You can even import your Google Reader subscriptions — and it all gets cached for offline viewing.”
- Google Currents is only available in the U.S. at this time.
- The Engadget post includes a short video demo.
