    Today, during their Android Honeycomb unveiling event, Google took a little bit of time on stage to mention one app: Pulse. The social news reading app began as an iPad project, but has since found a comfortable home on a wider range of devices, including Android devices. And now they’re ready to fully embrace Android tablets with Honeycomb.

And while it won’t be out until later this month (presumably when Honeycomb is also actually available on devices such as the Motorola Xoom), Kothari sent us some screenshots of how it will look. Find those below. For now, you can find Pulse for Android here in the new Market Webstore.
