Umano
I love news, and I love audio content. Umano is an app that is aiming to be at the center of those mediums. A few months ago, Instapaper added the ability to have your iOS device read your saved articles to you. It's a nice feature, but it's a computerized voice that is reading. Umano is news from around the web that is narrated by the people. Imagine if you had someone reading your Instapaper backlog to you? That is Umano.

I'll admit it: I'm a home screen junkie. I love to look at other people's iPhones. Do they use folders, what's on their dock, which email app do they use? I also believe that looking at other people's home screens is a great way to discover new apps. The folks at Betaworks agree with me. They have released #Homescreen for iOS.
