OMG, Flipboard For Android Is Here, Unofficially That Is

Flipboard for Android is here, it’s really really here. The app made a limited debut last week at Samsung’s Galaxy S III unveiling in London and was primed to be an exclusive app. Except, nothing is exclusive when the boys from XDA Developers get involved as the 2.32MB APK hit XDA this morning and should install on any Android device.

It’s an easy install, just head on over to XDA where forum user Valcho has uploaded the .apk. If you’re linking from your phones browsers, just download the file and follow the install prompts. Desktop users should email the file to their Dropbox accounts or load it up via usb cable. Whatever you have to do to get the file to the phone, just do it, this app is beautiful.

I have zero doubt that once Flipboard for Android is “officially” available for all Android devices, this one will dominate Google Play, it’s just that awesome.

i was looking at the notification bar what kind of signal is R?

dominate Google Play? Don't you mean Currents?  I personally don't get the whole Currents/Flipboard thing.  I use Google Reader to go through over 300 articles/blogs a day.  That just couldn't be done with the one article, one page at a time method.  No thanks.

Thanks so much, been waiting for this. Tired of my ipad/ iphone folks rubbing this in my face as an example of the many treasures that make i products better.  Pplease!!!!!!!!!!!!

I downloaded, and installed, this morning thanks to the clever peeps over at XDA. Whilst it's quite nice to look at I wouldn't go as far as creaming my pants over it, (which is the tone of the above article!!). It gets quite tedious flipping the page all the time to get to the next comment on Facebook. Far easier scrolling on the official FB app'.
