"Content discovery and recommendation engine StumbleUpon is bringing its \"best of the web\" finds to mobile devices with new iPhone and Android applications. \nThe web version, which enables its userbase of nearly 11 million members to \"stumble\" across content that other users have recommended, is being tailored for mobile by featuring a \"best for mobile stumbling.\" This includes photos, Flickr, YouTube and news, making the discovery experience more friendly for the mobile screen and connections. Below that are also the topics that users have indicated an interest in, as well as options to view favorites and recommendations from other users they're following.\nThe applications replicate the core experience of StumbleUpon on the web, featuring a prominent \"Start Stumbling\" button that links to a piece of content that users can either give a thumbs up or a thumbs down to, alongside likes, reviews and sharing options. Browsing functionality is similar as well.\nHowever, what seems to be missing is the easy ability to add content users come across outside of the app (i.e. on the iPhone's Safari browser) with the StumbleUpon community. The integration would certainly make the experience more connected. Also, in our test the iPhone application version was much faster than the Android version, which also had a few formatting issues. Overall, the mobile applications seem to stay true to the StumbleUpon experience, however. What do you think of the applications? \nThe app is available for download on iTunes and by searching the Android Market. Below are some screenshots of both of the apps: \n\n\nStumbleUpon Mobile Applications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niPhone App: Home Screen\nBoth application home screens include a Start Stumbling button, the \"Best For Mobile Stumbling\" options and topics you find interesting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIPhone App: Favorites\nThe application enables you to sort and view your favorite content. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niPhone App: Tips\nThe applications offer subtle tips to get the most out of your experience and navigate your way through the application.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niPhone App: Info\nSimilar to the Android app, the iPhone application also offers info on each piece of content, such as how much it has been viewed, who has liked it, and its reviews.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niPhone App: Liked\nWhen you're viewing a piece of content, the info section enables you to see who has liked the content, displaying their avatars. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niPhone App: Reviews\nWhen looking at the info behind a piece of content, users are able to view the reviews by other stumblers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niPhone App: Sharing\nThe application enables you to share content to your StumbleUpon friends and through the social space.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndroid App: Home Screen\nThe Android app home page features similar layout to the iPhone app with a prominent \"Start Stumbling\" button. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndroid App: News\nThis is what the \"news\" view in \"Best for Mobile Stumbling\" looks like. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndroid App: Photo\nThe application enables you to stumble just photos, which are easy to view on mobile devices, as part of the apps \"Best For Mobile Stumbling\" option.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndroid App: Info\nThe applications offer StumbleUpon info on pieces of content, such as how often it was viewed, its reviews and more.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndroid App: Sharing\nThe Android app sharing is a bit different than the iPhone, mostly in that it requires another click for social sharing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollow Mashable on StumbleUpon"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
