Well, that's interesting...
Instagram spotted for Windows Phone 8?
This actually solves one of my outstanding complaints of WindowsPhone - the inability to post the same photo to Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr with just one click. Instagram itself is just a bonus.
That's actually a GREAT point; multiple-location sharing is something that I actually adored on Symbian with Pixelpipe. Not having it on WP is a ball-ache to say the least.
'Instagram is just a bonus' - I'm sure they'd love that.
Going back to the video in question though, WDYT? That IS Instagram, isn't it?
James Whatley added Stefan Constantine.
Could also be Facebook or any other content-sharing platform that uses a heart to represent 'like' (doesn't FB do this on some platforms where space is limited?)
Also, it's pretty common knowledge nowadays that Nokia fakes things in their ads, so why wouldn't this be faked? ;)
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRN
What the hell is this? Branch? Looks like a way for people to steal comment traffic from sites. It requires verification too, which I now regret giving. Ohhh, I can type more than 140 characters! Ladi-ladia-da.
Heh - couldn't resist, it was too easy. I know Instagram would be a GREAT launch partner for this new 'Lens' functionality that Joe labored over for 3/4 of the stupid Nokia presentation last week.
It's been said so many times it's not funny, but it would be pretty ironic if the 'flagship' app to take advantage of Nokia's PureView technology on Windows Phone was an app that essentially craps your images down to a square with a tacky filter on it. (Yes, I meant to type 'craps' and yes, I realize that I'm a heavy user of Instagram so I'm just as guilty)
Dude, nothing makes me happier (and Steve Litchfield angrier) than shoving 808 PureView snaps through various Instagram filters... believe it or not, the filters are tres awesome ;)
Joking aside, getting the Hipster buy-in could be key to the 920's US success... oh, that AND AN SDK.

Still, on that very same article they state they've got confirmation that it is indeed coming to WP8
Yeah, I spotted that - but no link / back up reference.
Confirmed with who? When?
'We're hearing from sources familiar with Microsoft's Windows Phone plans that an Instagram app will be made available for the platform.'
Is *not* enough to go on. Especially as I could've given you that quote at any point during the last six months and it still would've been true.
James Whatley added Jason Goh.
I know, but that's all we can gather from the article.
About the leaked live tile, it could probably be an app similar to instagram like lomogram or fhotoroom as they do have live tile support with likes and comments indicators.
Even metro.am app (which is a 3rd party instagram app) has live tile support which looks like the one in the video.
And do those live tiles look *just* like the one we saw?
I haven't looked into it being Vimeo...
But still Instagram, ready for WP8 launch? That'd be quite the coo...
