Instagram, an app that has made instant photo sharing just a touch away and still continues to spread the smiles for Apple iOS users is finally making its way for Android. The app works great on the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad, providing rich and intuitive features and sharing options across multiple social networks. We have seen constant development and evolution for the app over the time that include the introduction to the new Instagram interface design, #hastags, live filters, instant tilt shift, high-resolution images and more. A very effective medium for digitized photo-sharing revolution on the go, a hub where millions of photos are relished and seen each day. It would be exciting to see the kind of volume and thrill the platform would experience when it arrives Android, as the numbers of users on Android are twice more than the ones over iOS. Instagram has come up with a registration page, to update users on the latest tweaks and info for their upcoming treat to the Android arena. We don’t have any confirmation on when the application would be out, once you register all the updates drop straight away to your inbox. You won’t have to go through a long sign-up page or anything of that type, just enter your email and you’re done.

Sony’s first Android ICS Smartphone: Xperia neo L debuts in China

March 22, 2012 Udit Malhotra Leave a comment

Today, Sony Mobile announced the Xperia neo L smartphone in China, the company’s first smartphone that would ship with Android ICS pre-installed on to it. The Xperia neo L is a successor to the Xperia neo and neo V smartphones that were introduced last year. The handset does not seem to carry major changes on the hardware front in comparison to its predecessors, it seems that the processor and other related specs remain more or less the same. The Xperia neo L sports a 4-inch FWVGA Display (854×480 pixels), 1GHz Single-Core Qualcomm processor, 1GB internal storage with Micro SD card support up to 32GB, 512MB RAM, 5MP camera with LED Flash (supports HD Video recording up to 720p), VGA front facing camera, 1500 mAh battery, and the key ingredient to the mix is Android Ice Cream Sandwich that comes pre-loaded.

The exact date for the product release or its exact availability is yet to be revealed. We still speculate whether the handset would only be available to markets wide China or would be released globally.

We also saw some great Android handsets that were introduced earlier this year by Sony that include the Xperia P, Xperia U, and Xperia Sola. All devices boast great specs, but still await an upgrade to Android ICS, which should hopefully come through by the end of this year.
