Flipboard recently extended its offering to Windows 8 and 8.1 users. However, it's the iPad app that we're flipping over. The free Flipboard brings the glossiness of print magazines to the tablet with dazzling effect. The social news aggregator is ideal for both creators and consumers of news and content.

Content creators can aggregate articles, images, and other elements from sites around the Web and use them to populate a magazine-like browsing experience. Typically, Flipboard magazines are built around a theme such as architecture, cooking, or current events.
