The Android iteration of the social reading app Flipboard was supposed to be a Samsung Galaxy S III exclusive. As it turns out, not so much. The app has popped up for download on the XDA Developers forum, and it appears to be installing on a handful of current and previous generation Android handsets and tablets.
It’s no particular secret that we love Flipboard, whether it’s the original iPad version or its iPhone sliced-down version. Seems like Flipboard loves us too; it has just added Australian content guides to its popular magazine service, including (naturally) everything good from Gizmodo Australia. [Flipboard]
Flipboard for iPad is amazing. Throw your Facebook, Twitter, and favourite websites in there and you’ve created a digital magazine just for you. I suppose the logical next step was the iPhone. It’s not as spectacular on the iPhone as it is on the iPad. But what do you expect when you take a tabloid magazine and turn it into a ‘zine?
What do you do if you’re a major celebrity with a bunch of tech endorsement contracts that don’t quite line up with the advertising relationships implicit in the hit sitcom you’ve just signed up for? If you’re Ashton Kutcher, you try to subtly plug them anyway.
The latest version of Flipboard is out for the iPad, which now allows you to browse instagram pics and run searches across social networks to quickly find essential things (like Rihanna GIFs). [iTunes]
Apple named Flipboard the best iPad app of the year, but its developers aren’t resting on their laurels. Flipboard 1.1 brings a slew of updates, including support for Google Reader, Flickr and new ways to interact with Twitter and Facebook.
