This is one of the reasons I love Android...the community of users behind it.
So last week, Samsung announced it's newest device in the Galaxy line: The Samsung Galaxy S III. One of the exciting new features of the phone, was a temporary exclusivity agreement with Flipboard - a popular news reader for the iPad and iPhone that presents content in a sexy, magazine stylized format. This exclusivity agreement was to last a couple months before becoming available to all Android devices. Well that was until this morning...
XDA-Developers board member, Valcho got his hands on a demo unit of the Galaxy S III and was kind enough to extract the .apk file for wide spread use. I've downloaded and installed the file on my Galaxy Nexus and can confirm it works like a charm. This is one of the few applications I've miss since transitioning back to Android after having an iPhone for a few months.
As of right now, it looks to only be the phone version of the app, but I'll assume the official app will be tablet friendly akin to that of the iPad. If you have an Android phone and are interested in checking out the app before it becomes officially available on the Google Play Store, you can download the .apk file here on the XDA boards.
Stay nerdy my friends.
