Flipboard for Android was launched as an exclusive for the Galaxy S III, but the software has made the rounds thanks to the folks at xda-developers. The original apk was leaked earlier this month and even received an OTA update. Today, Flipboard announced that an official beta version of the reader software is available for download.

Users who signed up for the beta can wait for Flipboard to send them the download link, or they can grab the apk directly from Flipboard’s website. The app will eventually land in the Google Play store but for now, Android users can enjoy the beta version and find out what those iOS users have talked about for the past few years.
