Hasta La Gadget!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: taking pics with a tablet is offensive to the human race. That said, viewing pics on a tablet is a very natural experience and Instagram’s latest build adds support for the N7.

This comes a few weeks after it was discovered that Instagram didn’t run on the new tablet. Owners trying to run Instagram were greeted with an incompatibility message. But now, with the latest version of Instagram, owners can view and share pics along with taking mugshots with the 1.2MP front facing camera.

Version 1.2 also adds Flickr support, allowing users to upload Instagram pics to the photo sharing site. As AndroidCentral reminds, Google + support is still missing.

But remember, kids, use this app for picture viewing purposes only. Taking pics with a tablet is dumb.

Bummed that Instagram wasn’t suited for your shiny new Nexus 7? Well friends, those sorrows are about to come to an end. The photo application has been updated to accommodate the Jelly Bean slate with version 1.1.7. While the software’s primary function is viewing the post-filter photography, you’ll be able to employ the front-facing shooter for self-portraits and the like. Also included in the update, the option of posting your tablet and smartphone creations to Flickr via the app’s share menu. Hit the source link to snag the current version for your 7-inch slate.

This week the folks at Instagram have made it clear that they want to be on every Android device, even the Nexus 7 which does not have a standard camera on its back. This device is the reason Instagram has been updated to make use of front-facing cameras in its latest update, choosing the one camera this device has by default rather than saying it’s not compatible with a device with no back-facing shooter. This application has also been updated to be able to share directly to Flickr in its newest bump.

This update represents a great ushering-in of Google’s efforts in the tablet space, with plenty of tablet devices having only front-facing cameras up until now but Instagram only updating now that Google’s own hero tablet wants in. Instagram is one of the most popular Android applications on Google Play right this minute, and has been every since the developers behind the software were so kind as to port it over from iOS.

Instagram is owned by Facebook in its entirety, which makes us think that regardless of Facebooks big collaboration with Apple for iOS 6, Facebook must still realize the big G’s worth with Android. You can download Instagram from the Google Play app store for free.

Toys playing with their own overly-engineered, brand-name, Apple gadgets is what could probably be called—quite accurately—the pinnacle of pretension. Still, anything made miniature is automatically cool. And these tiny iPods, iPads, iPhones, and MacBooks are no exception. Not even when Woody from Toy Story is posed with a doll-size iPhone to look like he’s Instagramming his sushi dinner.

If you want to upload photographs or browse the pictures that your friends have taken, you’ll have to do it with a smartphone or tablet. There have been some web-based apps that get the job done but they’re not downloadable apps which you can install on your computer. Well, Instagrille changes all that.
