Instagram spotted in Windows Phone advertisement, soon to be available? Probably not.

We've had an interesting image sent in from a reader, showing what appears to be an Instagram logo on the domicile screen of a Lumia 620 being advertised. The promotional cloth shows the Windows Phone in Portugal listed for 170 euro with a coupled package, but what's interesting about the device is definitely the mysterious use of the Instagram logo. Could this exist a sign of what'due south to come up, or is the app being falsely advertised?

While we could imagine certain apps existence displayed to help attract the client's attending, "Oh, expect Mary. That Windows Phone has Instagram!", but nosotros can't see Instagram being added to a Lumia advertisement. But if 1 does a search for "Instagram" in the Windows Phone Store, there are a number of 3rd-party apps that make apply of the Instagram logo, which could and so be selected and pinned to the home screen.

Nosotros and then accept to look at Molome founder, Sittiphol Phanvilai, and his contempo meeting with Nokia CEO Stephen Elop. Would the company be focusing on Instagram as well as checking out alternatives like Molome? Nosotros're not too sure. What we're sure most is that if Instagram was heading to Windows Phone (or Lumia handsets with a limited exclusivity deal) then Nokia would have shouted most it at Mobile Earth Congress.

Rum: 2

We've previously looked at Instagram heading to Blackberry x, but non Windows Telephone, further worsening the event with popular apps non coming to Microsoft's mobile platform. While nosotros personally may feel indifferent almost complaints being made about Facebook and its image sharing app, consumers clearly enjoy using the service, and Windows Telephone owners would like to see information technology available.

It's certainly wishful thinking, but nosotros can't see this advertisement revealing Instagram in whatsoever style. Sorry, folks.

Thanks, joaoseabra35, for the image!
