This is an issue I've been mulling over a few months How to get blog posts are displayed optimally using a native application on iPhone, iPad, Android Smartphone and Tablets with Android?What is Google Currents?
Google Currents is an application to be installed in any of the above mentioned devices from Android Market or from the Appstore as applicable.
Google Currents can subscribe to Publications. These editions are created using Google Currents Producer and this is where it gets really interesting as you can take advantage of RSS (Feed) of the blog as a source to create a new edition. But not only that, they also create other sections within your linked Edition Flickr, Picasa, YouTube, Google+ and all the RSS feeds you want.

Google Currents is more than an RSS reader and the source is a repeat edition which in turn is composed of different sections (rss, photos, videos, articles, etc.).
You should see the following video of just over 1 minute to see how Google Currents. Each icon on the home screen are Editions.
After mastering this new service, we set to work to create our own from the Blog Edition.
