The beta version, McCue said, is geared specifically to phones and has an experience much more similar to the one-handed interface seen on the iPhone than the one used on the iPad.įlipboard for Android will also come on Samsung Galaxy S III models in certain countries, though the exact positioning will vary by country and carrier. It will send a note to all users of the leaked version, letting them know that an official, updated beta is now available. Like other iOS developers looking to add Android support, Flipboard is trying to ensure that it can deliver a good experience on a vastly larger number of products than it has ever tried to support.Īlthough the Flipboard’s Android software leaked out shortly after it was demoed at the Galaxy S III launch, McCue said the company opted to do a few more revisions internally before releasing the code to the public.
“We need more data,” McCue said from the sidelines of the D10 conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. The goal of the managed beta is to better understand all of the different types of devices and versions of the operating system that Android owners are using, Flipboard marketing executive Marci McCue said on Wednesday. After an early version leaked out, Flipboard is now ready with an official beta version of its Android software.įlipboard started making the test software available on Wednesday, though users must request the product on the company’s site and get download instructions via email.
