Fresh from its iPhone App of the Year win, Instagram is hard at work converting the filter-driven photo sharing app over to Google Android.
Instagram, the iOS-only photo sharing app packed with filters to turn your snaps into hipster works of art, was named the iPhone App of the Year by Apple this week; but its exclusivity to the platform will soon come to an end. Speaking at the LeWeb11 conference in Paris, CEO Kevin Systrom confirmed his company has two people actively working on an Android version of the app.
While a team of two may make it sound like a low priority, given that Instagram is made up of six people in total, its definitely not the case.
T-Mobile has announced its new myTouch 4G Slide Android Smartphone which is scheduled to be launched in the US this July. The new T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide comes with a slide QWERTY keyboard, a 3.7-inch Touchscreen display with a 800×480 pixel resolution, an 8-megapixel camera that offers some advanced features making one of the smartphones with the most advanced features, including a backside illuminated sensor, zero shutter lag, dual-LED flash and 1080 HD video recording. It is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, it supports 4G UMTS/HSPA + support, Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and a WiFi hotspot feature that enables the user to share connection with multiple WiFi-enabled devices.
