Rotating to Landscape & Sideways Scrolling

This follows on from my previous post.
I really like Lukas Mathis’ idea to show the adjacent iPad home screens when rotating to landscape. Perhaps I like it so much because I had the same idea myself. A while ago, I devised a concept for a very simple looking iPhone feed reader.

How it works

• Synchronises with Google Reader
• All feeds are put together
• The content fills the screen, one story at a time
• Swipe to go between stories, like the cards in the iPhone Weather App
• Older items are to the left, newer to the right
• Saves position on quit
• Tapping links goes to Safari
• Settings in the Settings App
• Pull down or tap on the top right corner of an article to see options like Instapaper, starring and sharing
