Instagram now available on Android smartphones

Android users have reason to rejoice. Instagram, one of the most popular photo editing and sharing apps available for iPhone and iPad users is now finally available for Andoid as well. While Android already has a ton of other photosharing apps such as LittlePhoto, PicsArt, Lightbox, etc there has been still a lot of yearning for Instagram.

Last month, the app had crossed 27 million downloads on the iPhone. Instagram allows users to add various innovative filters to photographs and share them with others. In 2011, it was voted as the best app for Apple and a dedicated community has been built up around it.

However as TheNextWeb has pointed out in  this post , searching for Instagram in the Google app store is a bit like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Apparently it is still buried buried deep in the search results and requires some diligent and dedicated trawling around. (Also watch out for fakes!)

Is this one more nail in the coffin of Apple fanboy snobbery?
