During Nokia World 2013 press conference, Nokia’s Stephen Elop announced that the long-awaited Flipboard application would finally arrive on Windows Phone platform.

The application will be initially available on Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet at launch and will be rolled out on Lumia smartphones in the coming months.

This means that those who purchase the Lumia 2520 will be able to use Flipboard beginning Q4 2013, when the tablet has been confirmed to hit shelves.

“Today, we're excited for everyone to see Flipboard on the new Nokia Lumia 2520. Nokia, with their commitment to creating world-class user experiences, was a key partner for us bringing Flipboard to the Windows 8 platform for the first time.

“Lumia 2520 users can instantly read their favorite news or create their own Flipboard magazines on any topic imaginable. We look forward to bringing Flipboard to Lumia smartphones in the coming months,” said Eric Feng, CTO, Flipboard.
