Since last night (local time) I could see #instagramforandroid is all over the internet.. a lot of people were waiting for this popular photo-sharing app Instagram and it's now available for Android devices.
The company quietly released the new version of the app yesterday, adding a
"Get it on Google Play" link next to the App Store download option without much fanfare.

"Fast, beautiful photo sharing now for Android," Instagram said.
The release comes several weeks after Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom tipped its arrival at last month's SXSW conference in Austin. At the time, the app was not quite ready for primetime, but Systrom said that
"in some ways, it's better than our iOS app. It's crazy."

The Android app is available for free on
Google Play, you know the formerly known Android Market.
The app description says it will work with devices running Android 2.2. Instagram promised custom-designed filters and borders, front and back camera support, the new Lux photo-editing feature, and instant sharing to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Foursquare. Flickr support is coming soon, Instagram said.

| sharing |
Start by signing up for Instagram with an e-mail address, username, and password. From there, you can link your account to your Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and Tumblr accounts. But don't worry, whenever you snap a picture, Instagram will still ask you which account(s) you want to share with. Linking just makes it so you don't have to log in every time. If you choose not to share with any linked accounts, then your photo will simply live on your Instagram profile, and will be pushed out to your followers' Instagram feeds.
Once you're all connected, you can start snapping photos with the Instagram camera, which comes with simple flash controls and a camera-switch button to go from front-facing to rear-facing in a single tap. Beyond that, though, there's not much else to the basic shooter. There's no spot focusing, and no cropping or zooming once a shot is taken. Interestingly, though, you can crop and zoom in on photos imported from other apps into Instagram. What's up with that?

After you snap your photo, Instagram gives you the option to use any of its 18 photo filters, each of which adds a slightly different look to your work. While each of the filters is uniquely interesting, what I noticed is that all of them evoke a similar retro/vintage feel. This isn't necessarily bad (unless you think vintage is ugly), but it is worth noting. At this point in the workflow, you also get the option to rotate your photo, add a border, or enhance its brightness.
Even though the Instagram camera is solid and performs well as is, I would love to see a few additions in the next update. For one, this Android app absolutely needs Live Preview. As it is now, you can't preview filters before snapping, the way iPhone Instagrammers can, and that's bad. Also, it would be nice to get the Tilt Shift/Blur feature that iPhone users use to achieve the popular Toy Camera effect. Lucky for Android users, the folks behind Instagram assure us that they intend to bridge these differences in future updates.
