Huge win for Pulse as well as Amazon. If you're an Amazon Prime subscriber you've now got news, movies, tv, and books from the instant you boot up. Genius move on Amazon's part.

Wow, not sure how I missed the existence of Pulse. It's a really interesting news reader.

  Yeah, definitely my favorite reader for iPhone after trying a boatload of them. Presents information in an attractive and economical manner and every time you think "I wish I could do that", there's a way to do it.

Without criticizing Pulse, why are you all so congratulatory of this move? What does Pulse do?

  I also have this question. Their website seems to have fallen to this trendy 'minimalism' fad in which they expect that everybody visiting their site already knows what their product is.

      Absolutely. I've never heard of pulse before so I went to the blog to find out what it was. But nothing. Same for the homepage. There is just a link to the blog post.

Incredibly huge win for Pulse. A huge congrats is in order to everyone involved in making this happen.

Out of all the news readers I tried Pulse has been the one I like most, but I don't understand why none of them support some sort of offline mode.

Pulse looks nice. But I don't quite see how it's an advantage for the users, since they could just install it. It's more likely it'll annoy those users that don't want it.
