That Flipboard is one of the most content aggregators desired was something that was already known. But not to what extent. And it is that, a few days after learning that this application would finally reach the Android operating system, a developer from the well-known community XDA-developers has obtained this tool and distributed it, without official consent, over the Internet. Something that will make the users of this platform quite happy.

Something that made us think that only phones updated to version 4.0 of Android, better known as Ice Cream Sandwich, would be acts.Nothing could be further from the truth.
On the contrary. The leaked application seems to work correctly on all terminals Android, despite not having version Ice Cream Sandwich of that operating system. Something that highlights the economic and advertising strategies that arise with the issue of exclusivities. Although it must be said that in some terminals it is possible to find faults that prevent normal operation, but not complete incompatibility, according to comments in the developer forum.
The operation of Flipboard seems to be exactly the same as the version for iPhone The main thing is to choose the sources from which you want to receive information, being able to choose from a wide variety of topics. In addition, it is possible to add social networks as different sources, a key fact that has made this application famous.
