April 3, 2012 Udit Malhotra Leave a comment

The good news is in guys, Instagram for Android is now available for download from the Google Play Store. It had been a while since the pre-registration page for the app came up at the company’s website to register for app related info and its release date. The idea for Instagram for Android was originally talked about at SXSW at Austin this year. The development team at Instagram has made its best endeavor to provide rich, easy, and simple photo sharing at the push of a button. The app interface is quite similar to the iOS app for Apple products and uses almost all filters, borders and more to provide users with an equal experience across the Android and iOS platforms.

Since this the first release for Instagram for Android, it does not have Tilt Shift/Blur, Share from Feed, Live Preview and Share to Flickr features as of yet, but they should hopefully arrive soon to bridge minor platform differences.

What are you waiting for? Try out the app and experience instant photo sharing at its best and flaunt your photos to major social networks like Facebook, Foursqaure, Twitter, Tumblr and more. If you love photo editing, try out some customs filters, borders, Lux editing feature and more for your photos.

Instagram already awaits 430K+ users from its waiting list to use the Android app and add to its existing user base of 30+ million registered users. Be a part of the photo sharing evolution today and enjoy. The app is compatible with devices running Android 2.2 or higher. The Instagram network is gonna get a big blast with Android folks filling up fast, lets see how it goes ! If you’ve liked the app, please share your feedback and experience with us. 🙂

Samsung Galaxy S owners in Korea can finally consider the rumors to be true, the manufacturer has introduced a ‘value pack’ for the Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy K and Galaxy U. The update is targeted to bring Android ICS 4.0 alike features to its mid level segment. Its great to see Samsung making an initiative for its users base considering that the Galaxy S was launched way back in mid 2010 with Android 2.1 Éclair loaded on to it. The ‘value pack’ would introduce features including the famous facial unlock, the ability to click images while recording videos, enhanced photo editing functionality, and fresh folder options to the launcher menu. We know that many of you would not like to settle for anything besides the Android ICS 4.0 on to your smartphones. For Android lovers and geeks who have already played around with some custom ROM’s can try out the ICS based ROM’s available across the market.

The ‘value pack’ update for now stands still for the manufacturers homeland Korea, we still await news on region or country specific release for the same. We would keep you guys posted with any further buzz as we come to know more about it. If you are among the champs who have already tried the update and would like to share your opinion on the same, please leave your comments.
