  • Instagram hits 150 million uploads in nine months, still won’t talk about Android plans

    For better or worse, Instagram’s taken the iOS-capturing world by storm. And if you’re wondering what our qualification for “by storm” is, well… let’s just say The Biebs blasted out his first image on the service last month. As the story goes, four young lads with a fistful of dollars and boundless imaginations started up the famed app on October 6th, 2010. Today, there’s still only four employees, but the user base has expanded just a wee bit. The outfit just saw its 150 millionth photo uploaded (shown after the break!), with the current rate clocking in at around 15 images per second. Naturally, we took the opportunity to ask one of those four what this meant for a future Android release, and while he confirmed that he had nothing to announce right away, he did mention that the (still free) iOS build is just “the beginning of what’s to come.” So, how’s about dropping a link to your favorite Instagram down in comments below? Best one wins!

  • Cosmo For Guys viral marketing video is a head-turner (video)

    We don’t know iPad Head Girl’s name, or what she really looks like under that clever environment-reflecting helmet. What we do know, however, is that our mama didn’t raise us to go stroking people’s faces in the street — which is exactly what one unseemly chap eventually does in the viral marketing video after the break. Is he an actor on Hearst’s payroll, remitted an hourly rate to feign fascination with their new Cosmo For Guys iPad magazine, which magically appears on the poor girl’s face? By all means, analyze his forward behavior and make up your own mind. But if you’re only into couture, darling, you’d better look away now.

  • Samsung will release Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia despite Apple complaint

    Samsung has put out a distinctly unafraid-looking statement declaring that a “Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the Australian market will be released in the near future,” despite Apple’s attempt to halt sales through the Aussie Federal Court. It explains that Apple’s underlying patent complaints only relate to the US variant of the tablet, which Samsung had no plans to sell Down Under anyway. In a particularly emboldened finale, the missive adds that “Samsung will continue to actively defend and protect our intellectual property.” That’s the croc-fighting spirit.

  • SaskTel still has the cheapest 3-year price for the Samsung Galaxy S II


    SaskTel was one of the lucky Canadian carriers who recently launched the Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S II, the others were Bell and Virgin Mobile. As for prices, the Bell and Virgin no-contract came in better by $20 as SaskTel was on the high side with $619.99. However, if you dwindled down to the 3-year term it was regional carrier SakTel that simply dominated with a short promo price of $79.99 (Bell/Virgin has is for $169.99)… simply a stellar price point for this device. Now the party is over and price has unfortunately increased – but the good news is that it still comes in cheaper than their competitors at $149.99.

We’ve updated the App Directory page to reflect this, as well as include some of the other choices you guys love. Thanks for all your feedback, and keep it coming!

  • Mobile Gaming by the Numbers [Infographic]

    Billions of dollars a year are spent on mobile gaming; check out this infographic to see where the billions go, the rising trend of freemium games, and the who the most active mobile gamers are.

    Some of the figures in the chart are fairly predictable, such as the increase revenue pulled in by in-game upgrades and purchases (it’s so easy to spend $0.99 more to get that edge). Others surprised us; only 84% of tablet owners play games? We thought the whole purpose of the tablet movement was to disguise how much people wanted to goof off with a touch screen computer?
