Hasta La Gadget!

Hey Flipboard users, do you hate juggling various social media platforms? Well Flipboard has announced a new update to their popular app, bringing it up to version 2.0 in what the company calls its “most ambitious thing” (via Mashable) they have ever done. For those unfamiliar with Flipboard, it is an app that allows users to subscribe to various news feeds and content, and to a certain extent acts as an RSS reader, albeit a very beautiful, magazine-like one. However in its version 2.0 update, Flipboard will be adding a Pinterest Pinboard-like “Magazine” feature, search, notifications, and even sees integration with Etsy for those on the lookout for unique handcrafted items. Those who own the app will be able to update it via the iTunes App Store, and for those who do not have it, the app is free for download, so what are you waiting for?

While the first iteration of Flipboard focused exclusively on consumption and discovery, Flipboard 2.0, out today, adds a new dimension to the experience: content creation and curation.

If you happen to love everything about Flipboard and also have a penchant to read The New York Times whenever possible, then only iOS users would have had the pleasant experience of enjoying The New York Times over on Flipboard on their Apple devices. It is without much further ado, and with great pleasure that I announce the The New York Times will finally be made available in Flipboard for Android users as well as those who are rocking to an Amazon Kindle Fire.

In a nutshell, the Android-powered device that you are using, along wit the Amazon Kindle Fire, will be able to gain access the full New York Times digital edition, which will comprise of 25 sections of news as well as opinion pieces which cover a wide range of business, politics, style, the arts and other topics. Of course, before you can access the other NYT sections, you will first need to be a subscriber. Flipboard is available for free at the Google Play Store or Amazon Appstore.

Flipboard users on Android have a reason to celebrate, now that the Daydream feature on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is capable of showing covers from the popular social magazine. The latest Flipboard update on Android brings Flipboard Daydream, a feature that gives users running Android 4.2 the power to turn Flipboard covers into a “screensaver” for their tablet or phone. The Daydream feature on Android 4.2 was first discovered in September last year. (more…)

Flipboard has just launched its social magazine app to support Android tablets, including the Nexus 10, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10.1 and Galaxy Tab line.

Flipboard is an app that aggregates your RSS info, social networks, etc. to create a beautiful, flippable magazine. In fact, the app won Best Touch Interface at the 2011 Crunchies. But making sure that interface creates the same experience across all platforms has proven tough, as Flipboard didn’t migrate over to Android at all until June of this year.

Since then, the app’s been available across the entire iOS ecosystem and Android smartphones, and the Kindle Fire and Nook tablets. But today marks a complete expansion into Android.

This is as big as Flipboard’s ever had to go in terms of optimization. But according to the release, Flipboard worked directly with Samsung to optimize page layouts for the wider screen of some Android devices. Users of these larger Android tablets will see larger story excerpts.

It’s unclear whether or not Flipboard will head to Windows Phone next. That seems the logical next step in terms of platform expansion, though there’s no indication that the company has any such plans. Then again, anything can happen. Flipboard may even throw a curve ball and hit BB10 when it finally launches.
