Anyway, apps are great on smartphones these days. Google has released a new app called Google Currents.
Basically, this app is like Google Reader online (or in app form if you so desire). Currents basically syncs things just like an RSS feed, save they make the interface really nice. Lovely no?
On the surface it's the common Google style (white, spacious and the classic Google logo) and you scroll through your interests. I have to say, I'm digging the whole spacious look. However, I also use a popular app called Pulse. I have to say, Pulse is more "cluttered", but I also like the mosaic type interface. Google seems to be going the route of that fruit company, by using space in a modern type style that emphasizes efficiency over look. Other than that, I like the interface as it presents my news.
Google Currents also sync's automatically (assuming settings are good for it) so that when you're not connected you can still browse the latest topics. Pretty nifty.
After some use, I'm into it. It's not revolutionary of course, but it's Google. Almost like you gotta use the rest of their products if you use only one. Ha. Finally, I saw this picture (and found more awesome ones) on the selfsame Currents and I thought it was just down right cool, especially since I was part of an early release of a particular game that used similar weapons....
