Instagram for Android Now Available for Download

Since Instagram's iPhone app hit the App Store in October 2010, Android users have been patiently -- and in some cases, not so patiently -- awaiting a version for their phones. That day has finally come: Instagram for Android is now available for free download over at Google Play, Google's store for apps, ebooks and other media.

Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom announced at SXSW in March that the long-awaited Android version of Instagram was on the way. He teased the version on stage, but didn’t provide a demo. A signup page allowing Android users to be notified when the app went live was posted later in the month.
