The Next Web: Detailed side-by-side comparison of Instagram for Android and iPhone

“Instagram for Android is a great example of an iOS development house making a good translation of its app that manages to be similar on both platforms, while retaining a singular theme between them. If you’re an Android user that has been waiting, this is a faithful and mostly whole Instagram experience, enjoy.”


Instagram is now available for Android

From an Instagram blog post about this: “For the over 30 million people already using Instagram, this is a big step forward for the community as a whole. When we started working on Instagram, we tried to imagine what the world would be like if every single person on earth could share the world around them through the lens on their phones. With the release of Instagram for Android, we’re one step closer to making that goal a reality. Now, more of your friends and family can share their lives, and follow yours, through a series of beautiful images.”


Polaroid’s Android camera — and the future of point-and-shoot cameras (and photography)

It was inevitable — a camera running a phone operating system.

Yep, mobile photography is now making its way into the world of typical point-and-shoot cameras. The Polaroid SC1630 “smart camera” is powered by Google’s Android operating system. Which means, of course, you’re going to be able to download photography apps to a “real camera” with a 16-megapixel sensor and an optical zoom.

This is a sign of things to come.

Photographers want photography apps, from Path to Instagram to Hipstamatic (and beyond). And they want them on their DSLRs and point-and-shoot cameras — not just on their phones/cameraphones. It’s clear this is just the beginning of a transformation of cameras, of all types, with sharing capabilities and the chance to edit and manipulate your photos right on your camera.

Which raises the question: Would Apple, perhaps, come out with a camera? If you’ve read the Steve Jobs biography, you know Jobs said he wanted to reinvent photography.

Interesting to see what this’ll mean for iPhoneography.
