One of Samsung’s many (and rushed) announcements at their Galaxy S III unveil last week included Flipboard, a popular news gathering app that has already found a decent following on iOS.

As unlimited data plans began disappearing and carrier influence started proliferating on the Android Market (now Google Play), apps like WiFi Tether were removed.
