Flipboard, the mobile application specifically designed to provide users with a great experience when it came to news consumption, is now available for download.

The application was announced as pre-loaded and exclusive on Samsung’s new Galaxy S III smartphone, which meant that only those who had this device in their hands could use it.

Today, however, the software made an appearance online, via the XDA-Developers forum.

Those Android users interested in giving it a try should head over to this thread to learn more on how to download and install it.

Keep in mind that this is not an official release of the application, which means that you will have to use Android’s side-loading capabilities to get it up and running.

Some of those who have already installed it say that it works like a charm, so you should be in luck too, especially if you don’t own an old handset.
