Lisa and Tommy talk about their picks for best news aggregators for their Apple iPads. Lisa likes Fluent News and the Daily and Tommy prefers flipboard. One beef they both find with the crop of newsreaders is the fact it takes time to download content and they are not very friendly in situations where you don’t have wifi or 3G access…like airline travel. There needs to be a way you can pre-download content for offline reading.
