Android users can now join the ranks of old-school photography hipsters. Instagram for Android has just gone live and can be downloaded from the Google Play store.

What is Instagram? It’s a 27-million user-strong social network of photo sharing but more importantly, it lets the user apply numerous vintage filters to smartphone photos. Instagram rocks a neat Timeline feature, letting the user view their friends photo activities. Users can share photos via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Foursquare, with Flickr “coming very soon”.

For Android 2.2 (Froyo) users and above, grab Instagram now. Look forward to an in-depth app review from Gearburn.com, coming soon.
