Pulse Mini for iPhone Available in the App Store

Pulse is an innovative and great looking visual news reader for iPad, which has quickly become one of the most popular apps in the App Store - even after Steve Jobs praised it and the New York Times managed to force Apple to temporarily remove it.

The Alphonso Labs developers decided they wanted to do things bigger though, so they started working on an iPhone version of Pulse - Pulse Mini.

Pulse Mini was approved a few hours ago and it’s available at $2.99 here. As the name suggests, it is just a smaller version of the iPad app we know and love, so you’ll find dashboard, sources and text view in there. If you don’t have an iPad and you’ve never tried Pulse, give it a try. For anyone else (including me), the iPad app just makes more sense.
