Good news for Flipboard app users.IF Mike McCue has it his way, you may be able to flip through your selection of books, movies,and TV shows in your Flipboard app soon. Reuters reports that the CEO of the information digest app for iPad says that he is pursuing deals with studio partners to add video content to the app.
The company would like to have a taste of the overly crowded online streaming video territory occupied by Hulu,Neflix,Amazon and Facebook.McCue ,in addition,wants to bring full copies of electronic books to the app.
The future possibility of being able to flip through TV shows and movies like magazine articles is appealing . It could make for a nice lean-back media consumption experience. The one thing that it has going for it is that digital content providers seem to be intent on doubling down with as many different outlets as possible, why not a digital magazine then?
There is a version of Flipboard that will work on the iPhone and iPod touch due in a few weeks as well ,confirmed by McCue. The current version is iPad only.
