The best of the web is in your hand.
And you can even shake it
for a random, cool link.
Buy the iReddit app for just $.99 and you'll never see an ad on it. It comes with a ton of sound effects for your shaking pleasure and will let you aggregate up to 500 reddit subscriptions.
Feeling hesitant? Try the free version of iReddit. You just get one sound effect, though it is cool, and you can aggregate only 100 of your reddit subscriptions.

While in Serendipity mode, you will keep getting fed random stories to view/vote on every time you hit the "Hit me" button or shake the iPhone. Clicking "No More!!!" will take you back to regular mode. Much like UrbanSpoon, I could see this Serendipity mode becoming addicting. It's a bit like a completely random StumbleUpon (a website discovery tool), but again, using the iPhone's accelerometer.
Such a feature seems perfect for a social voting site, where users are often looking for new and interesting stories.
Not only does iReddit has all your favorite Reddit functionality: view stories, vote, comment, share, explore different subreddits, and save links for later, it also lets you 'shake' to get a new story; an idea, Ohanian says, that has been "floating around ever since I saw the Urbanspoon app."
$1.99? I've spent more on worse on the iPhone. Sold.

A particularly interesting feature is the Serendipity mode, which lets you you browse random Reddit stories without clicking; simply shake the iPhone and you'll be served a brand new link.
