From a Flipboard press release today:

FLIPBOARD ADDS ONE MILLION iPHONE AND iPOD TOUCH USERS IN FIRST WEEK

Dec. 14, 2011 — Palo Alto, Calif. – In the first week since launch, Flipboard™ added one million new iPhone® and iPod Touch® users and tripled its engagement. Driven by last week’s announcement that Flipboard’s popular social magazine for iPad® is now available on iPhone and iPod Touch, last Wednesday was the biggest single download day in Flipboard’s history.

Expanding Flipboard to iPhone and iPod Touch gives people multiple places to check their Flipboard throughout the day. Before last week’s release, the company registered 650 million flips per month for Flipboard on iPad. Now with Flipboard on multiple devices, that number has more than tripled and is trending towards two billion flips per month.

Flipboard comes to the iPhone.
