Instagram Android Signup Page Starts Accepting Registration Requests (PICTURE)

Instagram for Android is almost here!

While the popular photo-sharing service has been vague about how soon it will release an app for the Android platform, the company has opened a registration page where Android users can submit an email address ahead of the new app's official launch.

The pre-registration page, first pointed out by The Next Web, can be found here. Unfortunately, it doesn't give any hints about how long you'll have to wait to be notified that the app is ready for download.

Take a look at a screenshot of the page:

Business Insider points out that Instagram designer Tim Van Damme has also posted an image of what appears to be screenshots of the new user interface overlaid with the rainbow wallpaper from the registration page.

Here's Van Damme's teaser image:

Earlier this month, Instagram founder Kevin Systrom announced at SXSW in Austin, Texas, that the app has 27 million registered users. He went on to say that an Android app would drop "very soon" and claimed that it will be "one of the best Android apps you'll ever see."

Aside from the built-in social network, Instagram doesn't offer anything that other Android camera apps haven't offered since the beginning. Instagram is a big deal on iPhone because iOS doesn't have the APIs to provide the services that programs like Instagram needs. For iOS, app developers need to create those services themselves. Android has provided those APIs from the start, hence apps like Vignette, Lightbox, Camera ZOOM FX have been around a long time and do all the post processing/filtering that Instagram does, and Android can natively upload pictures taken to any number of web sites.

I would be the first to admit that the image quality from my smartphone isn't anywhere as good as my regular digital cameras, but these interesting apps which allow such artistic license really are fun to use...and to be sure, it creates a photographic spontaneity which is a keystone of candids. Personally, I like it when just taking a picture of a kitchen chair and displaying it as if taken with a 1960's Polaroid or 70's wonky cheapo camera. I took pictures with cheapo cameras and the vintage results back then came two weeks later. Never had direct access to a Polaroid but the instantaneous nature was amazing. It is amusing to watch someone who spends thousands on camera equipment produce the same results. The only difference is in the insistence to always highlight the expensive camera name in a sort of self qualifying nature.

Or, perhaps, the expensive camera belongs to a real artist who trained for years to be able to do what now an app can duplicate with a poor photo shot on a cheap camera by someone with no talent... yep, a better world awaits!

Cynical to be sure, but I honestly can't fault the reasoning from a valid point of view.
