Instagram for Android might be just around the corner, photo reveals

That Instagram is on its way to Android is something that we already know. After all, Kevin Systrom – the man behind the company that brought us the best iPhone app of 2011, confirmed that himself. However, he did not give us anything in terms of a launch time frame for the app, meaning that its release date is still anyone's guess.

But judging by this leaked image, Instagram for Android might be just around the corner. The photo that you see below is said to have been taken on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and shows a notification for Instagram being listed as a featured application. Unfortunately, we tried searching for Instagram in the Android Market, yet the app was not there. An official announcement from By Burbn, the company that develops it, has not been released yet either. Perhaps someone somehow managed to get the app by means not available to the common user?

In case you are not familiar with Instagram, it is a cool photo editing and sharing application that is still available exclusively to iPhone users. It is pretty popular too boasting over 15 million registered users. And since downloading it on an iPhone or an iPhone does not cost a dime, we assume it will be priced at zero when it lands on the Android Market too. Anyone thinking of grabbing Instagram once its Android version becomes official? Feel free to let us know by dropping a comment.
