Instagram coming to Blackberry 10?

The newly launched BlackBerry 10 devices may be getting a much-needed boost from photo-sharing service Instagram, an enthusiast site reported over the weekend.

 

BlackBerry is now "in the process" of working with Instagram for making the service available on its latest devices, Crackberry.com said.

 

"While no formal announcement was made this week about Instagram coming to BlackBerry, we did get word that BlackBerry is engaged in the process with Instagram right now and that Instagram will definitely be coming to BlackBerry 10. No date yet, but it will be there. Let's hope sooner than later of course," CrackBerry's Kevin Michaluk said.

 

A separate article on gadget site T3.com said this could be welcome news to the new BlackBerry 10 platform, which it said could be "good as dead" without external app support.

 

Facebook-owned Instagram has been a phenomenon on the iPhone and Android handsets, it added.

 

"Thankfully, for prospective BB10 converts, it appears that the filter-friendly photo-sharing app will be making an official appearance," it said.

 

It also said some Instagram users would say the presence of the app on BB10 is as important as Facebook or Twitter. — TJD, GMA News
