The HTC One UI has an interesting feature for the default home screen that many compare to Flipboard called BlinkFeed. Choices of news feeds are limited and controlled, but it shows lots of promise in terms of attractive formatting and pulling in content from various social nets & news sources with tight integration with the social apps on your phone.
