Instagram and Waze Released for Windows Phone

Photo-sharing service Instagram, which has more than 150 million users around the world, has landed in the Windows Phone Store and is now available for download!

Instagram can transform everyday moments into shareable works of art. Just grab a picture from your Photos Hub, choose a filter to transform its look and feel, then post to Instagram (or share to Facebook, Twitter,Tumblr and Foursquare).

As with many other Windows Phone apps, Instagram for Windows Phone will have a Live Tile which updates with data on the Start screen as well as support for fast-resume.

Together with some of the best smartphone cameras on the market, Instagram will truly feel at home on Windows Phone.

In addition to Instagram, Windows Phone today also sees another top app joining its ranks: the popular traffic and navigation app Waze.

Waze isn’t your typical navigation app. Instead, Waze makes it possible to join forces with other drivers and crowd source real-time road conditions, saving time and petrol money.

For example, you can both report accidents and hazards and see road problems on your route. Community-shared fuel prices make it easy to pinpoint the cheapest gas station.

With Waze riding shotgun, it’s also fun and simple to meet up and coordinate with friends on the road.
