I like pulse better than both

I second feedly, after learning of Google Reader's demise i've used nothing but this and it's fantastic.

I prefer Pulse myself.
You can see more headlines at once and then decide which stories you want to actually read.
I find having to flip through every story with Flipboard and Currents annoying.
But I can see how they could be appealing as they are more like flipping trough a paper magazine.

I like Google Currents if I want to read from a specific source. Swipe left right to switch between new sources and up down to scrollbetween articles. So convenient! I llike flip board for the compilation of articles or news from various sources at once.

I'm used to flipboard.
So im gonna stay with flipboard

+1 for Feedly. Not perfect but good enough. I can't stand flipboard and especially currents. Too much gloss. At least with Feedly, I can make it look more like Reader.

Pulse for blogs and news, flipboard for pictures . Addicted to both

Pulse is too condensed making it hard to read full titles, Currents I feel like is not as intuitive and simple as Flipboard. I mainly use Flipboard on my note 2 and ipad.

I'm a fan of currents, personally.

Flipboard on the note 2 and New iPad. I'm a fan!

I would highly recommend pulse. I use that app more than anything else and on the tablet the split screen is really nice.

Try the following:
Feedly
Newsr
News360 (still in Beta but quickly getting better)
Pulse
My favorites are Feedly and Newsr currently. Several more are in beta stages.

thanks for these suggestions. i tried news 360. its user interface is nice .... and reminds me of flipboard somehow. before any updates from above apps mentioned , ifeel news 360 acts more reasonable for 10.1.

I love pulse. A preinstalled app that doesn't suck is great.
Pulse is okay, I hope flipboard comes to android.
It would be nice but I recently took a survey with News360 and they're currently working on Twitter/Facebook integration. It could possibly help me forget about Flipboard.
Man...if only I could code, I would have started working on an app just like Flipboard called Scrapbook. LoL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flipboard appear on Android sometime after Christmas. I still wonder if Apple doesn't pay some of these developers not to work on both.
It seems silly as anybody who can program, can just take your idea, change it a bit and put in on another marketplace.
with that being said , flipboard to me ,also is far more better in providing iformation than any apps i tried on android os.
just by searching word 'cancer' , in these apps vs flipboard , one can clearly see the difference ....
hope flipboard coming to android soon ...

the same, hope it will be available for android soon.
Another thing is that they need to make the content more customizable and give more consideration to the individual preference.

That is true.
Apart from the tremendous claim for their attractive layout, this is a real problem.
There is not enough personal customization of content, and most often, the status updates chronologically.
Ive never had the chance to play with it but having seen reviews, I would really like to use planetary on android.
I would pay 4.99 on the market for that
What do you mean there is no Flipboard-like app? Theres Google Currents which is superior
I was currently searching for planetary. Only thing i found , was this thread.
Can someone port it for android? Or am i asking something incredible?
I have flipboard installed on my tab. In the play store says isn't compatible but you can instal it if you download the apk from other source. Once installed the app says in the first time open that is not made for this screen size but works perfectly!

News Widget

When you click the market there is the staff picks for apps. News Republic is one of them. It is a horrible reader. Pulse and others are much better. But what is great is the apps 3 Widgets that you can customize for news sources. Android news, tablets, entertainment, politics and so on. Very nice scrolling on the Widgets as well. Here is a pick of my sports screen with 4 of the Widgets on the sides.

Best RSS Reader?

I was using FLUD on my iPhone, but it doesn't seem to work properly on the Note. What RSS reader are you guys using?
I like JustReader. It is fabulous in landscape mode too.

Was a News Rob fan, but now I use the official Google Reader app. Works well.

Just tried them both out and Pulse really is awesome. I think it will replace Flud nicely for me.
I've used Newsrob, Pulse, the official Google Reader, I've tried a lot of them. So far my favorite has been gReader Pro. There is a free version to try, give it a shot.
I use one called "gReader (Google Reader | RSS)" -- this is not the official Google app!
It's fast, it's simple, it just works, and it's free.
Used Pulse and Greader both for log periods, but keep coming back to Taptu.

Currents looks real nice, and is def customizable but the feeds seem to take FOREVER to load and the UI is not very intuitive, it doesn't seem.
But, to each their own!

Initial install and setup yes the feeds take a few minutes to load, after that it is instant for me. And the UI is simple...nothing flashy just clean and minimal....perfect IMHO.

Also the Tasks app is nice looking. Any Do is too.

I wasn't familiar with Atom Launcher. I'll add it to my Android Launcher page after work.
For a few app ideas, you might check out some of the links in my sig.
Are you looking for holo ICS styled apps?
UCCW is one of my favourite widgets, the creator is pretty ugly but you can make awesome widgets.
MiFile explorer is really nice too.
Daily Girls
Hi all,
there are a lot of erotic-apps on Google Play. Erotic? Well as sexy as Google allows. Better than on IPhone for sure
I checked quite a many erotic picture apps. Most of them for free, most of the some galleries of nore or less sexy girls.. That's it.
But there is one I found, that really kicks me every morning as it gives you a new hot gallery every day.
Check out yourself:

If you need it hotter you can register on Hegres side and get the naked truth beeing linked directly into the daily gallery but fully nude :angel:
Hope admins will not delete that post. I really don't want to make marketing for Hegre APP, but it is by far the hottest wallpaper app and I stumbled over it by chance for there is no marketing for it. And I'm sure, there are many people out there who are desperately searching for such an app.. Guys we got Android no IPHone, we're allowed to act like MAN :laugh:
Enjoy!
Google search is the sexiest app

What do you use S pen for?

I haven't found a single use for it yet

i cut my friends' faces out and place them on random bodies. Other than that, i'm not an artist so i'm struggling ways to find uses for it.
Quick Notes!
Really great for quick notes, some sketching. It's awesome for Draw Something too!
It's very extremely useful on taking quick medication orders/directives from doctors when I'm on call.
I use it on scribbling directions from screenshots when there's a problem using an application
I use it for sketching drills I'm going to do for soccer practice and vball practice. I also use it to write down conditioning ideas and setup for the vball and soccer team.
I use it for quick notes or a short grocery list. And sometimes if I have an idea that includes s couple e if people I'll use it to write it down and then send it out.
