iPad, Apple’s popular tablet PC, is changing the way readers “read news,” and it looks like Google and Yahoo are set to offer their own “ways” of serving the news.
Google is reportedly poised to introduce its own Flipboard-like application this month — the rumored “Propeller” or “Current” (according to All Things D), while Yahoo will introduce its own app, the “LiveStand,” with similar features like aggregating content from its own network and from other news publishers. For starters, Google doesn’t produce its own news content.
Yahoo is claiming that “the more you use (Livestand), the more it gets to know you,” but no word yet from the internet company regarding the features of the application. Meanwhile, rumors say the Google Propeller or Google Current is an HTML5-based RSS reader for the Apple iPad and Android tablets, smartphones, and oversized smartphones.
Google’s magazine-like reader will focus on delivering content from the company’s chosen media partners — and aside from serving the news, Google’s new app is reportedly into giving the publishers another popular way to generate advertising revenue revenue (thanks Google).
