This is like the 3rd time a similar question get posted on HN this week. BTW for mainstream news I use my own app: http://newspo.st

It's a iPhone news aggregator that works in the opposite way of traditional news reading apps. It uses Twitter as a sort of enhanced RSS feed and ranks news stories based on how much they are shared in real-time, laying them down in a newspaper-like format specifically designed for mobile devices.

It's really interesting because it lets you find what's important for people rather then what matters to newsroom's editors, and it puts you in a whole different point of view.

The bare bone MVP is currently available in US, UK and Italy. I'll soon release a new version with categorization and custom topics.
