Though there are many worthwhile iPad news-reading apps, Flipboard (free) continues its reign as the best of the best. Recently updated to version 3.0, Flipboard for iPad now has a more streamlined interface, a daily curated magazine, and a new social media-like reading model that encourages you to follow topics, people, and curated magazines. Rest assured, Flipboard hasn't moved away from the elements that have made it successful; it still deftly aggregates articles, video, podcasts, and social media into an accessible but feature-rich, print-style digital magazine. My one major gripe? Flipboard still lacks dedicated offline reading support.
