Live from The Daily announcement, here’s what The Daily looks like. First screenshots below and after the break.
The app features lots of photographs and videos, social integration with Facebook and Twitter feeds inside the articles, breaking news during the day. One cool feature that was demoed on stage was “360 photography”, which allows you to move around a scene with your fingers – it looked very impressive and immersive at the same time. The Daily comes with several sections accessible through a “carousel” interface, which is a mix of Apple’s Cover Flow and the classic bookshelf. Online video can play inline the carousel, and the process of scrolling through the sections looks very smooth.
The app is now live in the App Store. Check for our first impressions in a few minutes.
