This iPad newsreader calls itself your personal magazine and "your personal slice of the Zeitgeist." What I love about it is that you simply pick the news categories you want to follow, plug in your Twitter and Google Reader accounts (optional) and it does an amazing job of surfacing the top stories for you, and does it in a very readable format that reflects a newspaper/magazine layout. Several times, I've seen a top story that I'm interested in reading from Twitter but couldn't read it at that moment, but when I checked Zite later it had the story in its list of stories customized for me. That's why this app is threatening to usurp Flipboard as my No. 1. newsreader on the iPad.

 

If you'd prefer to view this as a list instead of a photo gallery, then see the companion blog post.
