Here’s a juicy bit of app gossip to emerge
from Samsung’s Unpacked event – popular iOS newsreader Flipboard will be coming
to Android, by way of an exclusive window of availability on the Samsung Galaxy
S III. Flipboard won numerous user-experience awards on the iPad, and has
become a hit on the iPhone as well since it launched last December. Android
users have options like Pulse and Google Currents, but until now they have been
locked out of the Flipboard game.
Owners of other Android devices will have to
wait until Samsung’s exclusivity period runs out…or until some enterprising
developer rips the .apk off the device and shares it with the world, whichever
comes first. What do you guys think - did Flipboard wait too long to unseat
Pulse and other Android news readers, or will it win on virtue of elegant
design and user experience?
Galaxy S III owners will get to make up their
own minds in a couple of weeks.
