Flipboard to release iPhone version, integrate TV shows, movies


Everyone's favorite magazine-style news reading app for the iPad, Flipboard, has plans to expand its offerings in the near future. Namely, it is working on deals with productions studios to offer TV shows and movies along with the standard web content that is already available in Flipboard.
Flipboard Chairman and CEO Mike McCue was happy to brag to Reuters that the company is working on deals with the production studios, but he was reluctant to provide any details as to which TV and movie providers Flipboard was talking to. Another plan that Flipboard is looking to implement is to offer e-books through its app, essentially creating a one-stop portal for all entertainment needs.
Additionally, McCue revealed that and iPhone and iPod touch version of the app would be available in the next few weeks. No timeline was given for when TV shows and movies would be available in Flipboard.
