Just like you, Zite gets smarter over time.  The iPad app that personalizes content on your tablet into magazine form, knows what you like and what you don't, and today it becomes available on the iPhone.

Zite CEO Mark Johnson wanted to break the news to Business Insider in person, so he came to the offices earlier this week to sit down with our own Jay Yarow.

Over the course of the interview, Mark - a former Bing employee - and Jay get into the search battle between Google and Microsoft, whether the former will inevitably go down the path of the latter, and of course, Zite's new iPhone app.

It's all in the SAIcast
