Acrylic Apps’ Times for the Mac was quite early on with this ‘virtual newspaper’ on the desktop concept. Fluid skeuomorphic layout, constantly updated via RSS, but unfortunately, it only had the boring desktop to display itself on.
Dustin Macdonald has taken that same magic and ported it to the iPad, and it (seems to) fit just right. Some people like these real world metaphoric UIs in their apps, while others prefer a more straightforward digital view. We’ll have a review on SA soon, but if you’re not too keen on wise words, follow along and check out the Times app in all is glory. It’s $7.99 to buy.
