Remember how we told you that Flipboard for Android is going to remain exclusive to the newly announced Samsung Galaxy S III? Well, turns out the Android gods did not like that idea. Somehow, the folks at XDA-Developers have managed to get hold of the app. Strange thing to note here is, the Galaxy S III hasn’t even been released yet!

An XDA member got his hands on the elusive Galaxy S III and extracted the Flipboard.apk using AirDroid. He has now posted the APK file in the forum, so anyone with an Android device can try it out. If you like to read on your mobile device, then you’ll love Flipboard. It has a beautiful magazine layout and connects to all your favorite social networks, including Instagram. You can add your favorite news sites and read in style. Users are all reporting that the app works great even on older Android devices running Gingerbread.

Looks like, Flipboard for Android is no more exclusive to the Galaxy S III. If you want to try out this app, you can download the apk from here (direct link). After downloading the .apk, make sure you check Untrusted Sources in the Settings before installing it. Tell us what you think of the app in the comments.
