Pulse Reader launches browser-based app, you'll need IE10 for certain gestures

[![DNP Pulse Reader launches browserbased application, app works in any browser but you'll need IE10 for certain touch gestures][1] ][2]

Until now, if you've wanted to use the [Pulse][3] reader app for browsing Engadget your favorite blogs you had to own an Android or iOS device. Now, though, the startup is launching a browser-based version of the service, making it accessible on desktops and mobile platforms for which there's no standalone Pulse app. The site will run in any browser, including mobile ones, but there are certain gestures you'll only be able to pull off in IE10, like using two fingers to expose the reading pane. For that reason, Microsoft is promoting this announcement almost as enthusiastically as Pulse (see the source link below if you don't believe us). As for the new website, we could go on about the slick UI and brisk performance, but it's probably easier if you just check out the screenshots below and then peek the quickie demo video after the break.
