Hasta La Gadget!

It may be hard to believe, but before today, there was no way to embed Instagram content on other websites. However, the social photo-sharing company has finally announced the feature and launched embeds for both photos and videos. This will allow users to show Instagram content on their own website without just having to link to it.

To embed an Instagram photo or video, just click on the share button to the right side of the photo or video, and from there you’ll be given an embed code using iFrame. Then, all you have to do is copy and paste it onto any webpage that supports iFrame and it’ll be all set to go for primetime. The embed for Instagram content will include the user’s name and avatar, as well as the number of likes and number of comments at the bottom.

There a few things to be aware of. First off, only photos and videos that are made public can be embedded, and since the new embed feature uses iFrame, you won’t be able to copy and paste it on just any website. For instance, many blogging platforms, including WordPress, don’t support iFrame code, so the embed won’t show up at times.

It’s not a revolutionary feature by any means, but it finally makes it easier to share your Instagram content with followers of your blog, or visitors of your website. Twitter has had this feature for ages, and the new 6-second video service Vine supported embeds right on the first day of release.

On this Independence Day, Samsung has unveiled a new long zoom camera, the WB110. In addition to its super optical zoom, this digital camera also offers an ultra-wide angle lens for taking expansive images in settings that benefit from it. There’s no word yet on how much this super-zoom shooter will cost or when we’ll see it hit shelves, but we’ve got a gallery for you after the jump.

The Samsung WB110 features a 20.2-megapixel CCD sensor alongside Dual IS, which encompasses both digital and optical image stabilization. As we mentioned, the WB110 is a long zoom digital camera, offering 26x optical zoom, as well as a 22.3 millimeter ultra wide-angle lens. The device runs off 4 AA batteries, and storage support is for SDHC, SDSC, and SDXC cards.

The LCD measures in at 3-inches with an hVGA resolution and auto live-level adjustment so it can be viewed ideally in various lighting situations. Video outputs are AV and HDMI 1.4, and ISO (in addition to auto mode) ranges from 100 to 3200. The camera is shipped with the i-Launcher software, which only mentions PC support.

Images are saved in JPEG format, with the highest resolution being 5152 x 3864, while the minimum resolution for images is 1024 x 768. Videos can be recorded in up to 720p in MPEG4, AVC/H.264 with AAC audio at 30fps. Other recording options include 640 x 480 and 320 x 240.

And finally there’s the on-board software, which gives users, not surprisingly, a Live Panorama mode that will nicely accompany the ultra wide-angle lens. There’s also Smart Auto, which aims to identify the “key elements” of scenes automatically, making the adjustments the camera determines is necessary. And finally, there’s Split Shot imaging mode.

The latest version of Snapchat’s Android app cleans up its interface and adds gesture-based navigation controls. Everything from conversation view and the contact list received a once over making it feel more like a platform-native app, even though it’s more than a blush similar to the last iOS update. Perhaps the biggest fix is the new shutter button, which is a clear bubble instead of a big blue bar. Now nothing’s obscuring your view of a poor snap decision.
