Read It Later Will Change The Way We Bookmark

Read it Later Banner

I know, Read it Later wasn’t designed to compete with social bookmarking sites or just bookmarking sites, but I think of it as bookmarks 2.0, a list of not only links with names, but a list of offline content that I can read everywhere! I’ve bought it three days ago an I just can’t stop using it.

I had a big problem with my Galaxy Tab and my other Android devices: If I was browsing the web using the default browser and for some reason I had to turn off the device, all my tabs get lost. So I was searching for some tool that could help me with this and I came across Read It Later. It’s a lot more than I had in mind, it synchronizes between my iPhone, iPad, Galaxy Tab, Android devices and my Mac! And also store a cleaner version of the website offline, just like the Reader feature in iOS 5′s Mobile Safari.

With a great UI on mobile devices and now with a great UI on the web version, it’s great to have all your important web sites that you might need to read in another device or maybe later, all in one organized and secure place.

I was trying to find the favorite feature in the mobile version of the service, but I haven’t found anything, maybe it’s because this features are still in beta on the web version and will come out soon.

If you browse the web in many different mobile devices or if you like to have a little archive of the best pages you read, this is for sure an app made for you! I recommend it to everyone.

About Nathan Campos

The guy that had the idea to start this site. Mobile developer and Apple lover. I have great ideas, things to write, code or invent. Most of my time I spend programming or writing random articles, usually my opinion about the tech world (mainly mobile). I have good experience with Android, Windows Phone/Mobile, iOS, Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. I could list all the devices I own, but the list would be too big and no one will undertand why someone still owns a HP Jornada and other old school stuff.

My favorite gaming platform is iOS. I was a XBOX fan, but 3 red lights of doom happened. I think that as mobile devices are getting closer to computers, it will become the dominant gaming platform in the future.

My daily gear: Macbook Pro 17" with an i7, iPhone 4 32GB (black), HTC Titan, Galaxy S running MIUI, Galaxy Tab 7" running CyanogenMod 7 and my iPad 3G 64GB.
