Pulse introduces cross-device syncing and WP7 availability

Add as a preferred source on Google

pulseContent aggregator app Pulse has issued an update, the most major new feature being Pulse Sync. Before, your Pulse settings varied between your different devices. The reader will now offer users a much more unified experience from your table to your phone.

The update means users will be able to use Pulse’s personalization features, which allow you to curate your list of bookmarks from the Pulse reader. Previously, bookmarks stuck with whatever device you created them on. Now your reading won’t be hindered by your gadgets, it will all be there waiting for you. You can also send bookmarks to services like Evernote and Instapaper if you want.

The update will include a tutorial to get Pulse Sync up and running. You will need to set up an account, however, which you can do via Facebook if you want. 

While Android and iOS users are the only ones who will be able to take advantage of the new features, Pulse has adding Windows Phone 7 availability (Pulse tells us syncing for WP7 is one the way). Check out a video showing off the WP7 enabled app here.

However, code discovered by 9to5Mac in an iOS 27 beta raised concerns about what could happen if someone fell behind on payments. The new App Managed Features system appeared capable of checking a customer’s payment status and placing a financed device into Restricted Mode.

A semester’s worth of notebooks, printouts, and loose assignment sheets can turn your backpack into hefty luggage. This is where the iPad steps in, not by making your reading list shorter, but by making your academics less cluttered. Add an Apple Pencil, and the same tablet can handle handwritten lecture notes.

It's not all work and no play, as the iPad can double as a handheld gaming console or streaming device. But at the end of the day, the real question is, "Which one is right for you?" With the various models under its belt, Apple has an iPad for everyone. It currently sells four very different iPads and two relevant Pencil models, with compatibility changing depending on the tablet.
