Overnight all the buzz was about the popular news app Flipboard landing in BlackBerry World. While many users were quick to snatch up the free app, others were a bit skeptical right from the start. The Android port seemed to run fine for most users who installed it, however upon closer inspection it turns out that is wasn't actually an official release but an unsupported port that wasn't actually from Flipboard.

At first glance it looked like a legit app - but upon installing things got fishy as the details just didn't match up. A quick search in BlackBerry World this morning showed the app in the listings however the actual app page returned an error. 

So while it looks like we'll need to wait a bit longer to see if the real official app turns up on BB10, you can still sideload the Android version and have it working with no issues should you choose to do so.
