Last week, popular news and social feeds reader Flipboard was updated for iOS users, and on Saturday the update came to Android.

You will also find an improvement in the method used to display feeds from Google Reader.

You might remember that Flipboard was originally launched for the Apple iPad and eventually became available for the Apple iPhone. The app was an exclusive on the Android powered Samsung Galaxy S III for a short time until it became available to the entire platform.
