Flipboard lands on Android tablets, now supports Nexus 10

[![Flipboard lands on Android tablets, now supports Nexus 10](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/12/flipboardnexus10lead03.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/20/flipboard-lands-on-android-tablets-now-supports-nexus-10/)

It's no secret that we're big fans of [Flipboard](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Flipboard/) here at Engadget, but there's one thing we've been longing for: a tablet-optimized [Android version](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/22/flipboard-android-official-launch/). Until now, running the app on the [Nexus 10](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-10-review/) (by sideloading the APK) or even the [Nexus 7](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/) (officially supported) meant living with a scaled-up phone experience. Today, Flipboard is getting updated in the [Play Store](http://www.engadget.com/tag/PlayStore/) to supports a variety of Android tablets such as Samsung's [Galaxy Note 10.1](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-review/), the Galaxy Tab series and the Nexus 10. A setting lets you chose between phone and tablet modes, which is useful for mid-size devices like Amazon's [Kindle Fire](http://www.engadget.com/tag/KindleFire/), the Nook and the Nexus 7. Flipboard worked closely with Samsung to optimize the app and take advantage of larger, higher resolution displays. This means more of your favorite tiles, larger story snippets and landscape support (at last). We spent a few hours using Flipboard's new app for Android and came away suitably impressed -- anyone familiar with the [iPad version](http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/flipboard-for-ipad-app-review/) will feel right at home. PR after the break.
