Default News and social apps / Flipbook alternatives

I like flipbook on my Android phone, because in collects and mixes popular news coming from different sources like twitter, facebook, news feeds, ..
It's also very fast and has a decent layout.
But its not available for Android tablets ;-(

I tried Currents, Pulse and Tapto, but all lack the possibility to mix social feeds and news feeds.

Any alternatives?

feedly is a very nice app for on the tablet.
However I don't know if you can mix social and news feeds. I just use it for RSS.

It is called Flipboard not Flipbook.
That may explain why you can't find it.
Because as you can see in this video it works for the tablet:

indeed, wrong naming, I'll update the post.
I had a look at the video: it's not available in the play store, but I found and installed the apk: it works but is not usefull as explained in the video: only optimized for phones, not tabets.
tnx anyway!

Yeah there is no landscape mode implemented.
But maybe you are lucky contacting them and asking for one.

I barely got my infinity yesterday and was too disappointed flip board wouldn't download from the play store... So I did a search on this fine Site... "flipboard for android" and found the apk... So now I'm using that just something to think about
