The iPad's native Flipboard, the tablet-magazine is already big on tablets and iPhones, this time it is being launched on desktops for web browsers. Flipboard.com is meant to draw in hundreds if not thousands of readers who are not able to get some articles with the use of smartphones or tablets, USA Today reported.
Online, through web browsers, potential Flipboard users can be missing out on this from the iPhone company. These users have the probability of searching Flipboard on a search engine and that possibility can create a brand new group who previously have no idea what Flipboard was.
Launched in 2010 for iPad users, Flipboard is an app that had heavy images and page-flipping feature attracts magazine readers which benefits Apple and media publishers.
Flipboard co-founder and CEO Mike Cue already had this vision few years back. He thought about a web service that would lay out stories, news, and other reading materials on a magazine type but on a web browser.
Apple launched iPad magazine first since the tablets have been doing great in the market and seemed to be the right platform to startup. Soon since Flipboard has been acquired by Apple competitors through other smartphones, the iPhone giant believed it is time to launch the app to desktop and browsers, according to Wired.
Flipboard will expand from smart phones app only to web browsers on desktops just like Instgram and Vine who both did the same as well.
The new site is readily available on Flipboard.com.
