Flipboard for Android

Dunno how many people will find this useful but someone extracted it from the GS3 on Xda.
Tested it on my One X and it works perfect but Ive no idea of the requirements for it.
Works pretty well, very flippy and pretty but I dont find it the most practical to use!

Pretty Social & RSS feed. You pick subjects and can add your FB and twitter accounts then flip through it all (literally). Can set stuff to Read Later too

Just shows how pointless it was for this being a GS3 "Exclusive" tbh.

Thanks though will give it a try out

Tried it on the Sensation. It's a serious piece of eye candy. Not a bad news feed either.

Pretty nice, works flawlessly on the Xperia S(1280x720 screen is perfect for it).

Perfect on the DHD with IceColdSandwich, installed app with astro

Installed to SD card by default, move to internal storage, restart phone, widgets will be available.

Works a treat

On a similar note... for those who who want to be able to play a video while browsing the internet e.t.c., buy Stick It off Google Play. It allows you to play as many videos you want from any source you want including Youtube. It's not a new app either, it's been around for some time.

Strange that it doesn't let you add your Google Reader account like the iOS version.
Being ... y'know .. Android and all.

Nice find.

I dont see any widget for it though, do we have to wait for the official release to get this? Installing on a HOX btw.

The option is there alright (albeit a bit hidden) - doesn't seem to be working though.
