Users of Android systems can now go to their market or as the new one mentioned as Google Play to download the desired app. If you required it to be install later, just click the image above to get the Instagram for you Android.

Note: Instagram for Android caters for newer devices with Android 2.2 and those that support OpenGL ES2. So do check if your device supports it. Although you can also check it when you go to Instagram download area to see if your phone supports it.

Now after downloading Android SDK (for Android developers and also initially for those wanting to root their Android phones), this is the initial screen.

Following that, click the Next button which the following screen should appear.

What is happening? After checking, it looks like the JDK was already installed on the machine. Something is not right here. Now here comes the fun part, click the Back button which should appear to the first screen and then click Next again. The screen which initially showed theJava SE Development Kit (JDK) not found is different now.

Oh, it is a bug in Android SDK Installer. This has got to be a funny mishap in the programming codes but then it is not something to be going gaga over though.

After this phase, just follow the screen and everything should be done.

Summary of the installation

Simple steps to follow.

Click Next > Back > Next

Yes, after 20 over days later, it’s finally here. WhatsApp now supports Android 2.1. Thank you to the WhatsApp developers for considering lower end Android machines that do not have the capability to upgrade to the Android 2.2 OS.

WhatsApp? What’s this? Basically this application will let you save tonnes of money spent on SMSes (of course you need a data network plan 3G/Edge/Wifi to use it). Using phone numbers as the primary key contact, it lets you send messages without being charged into your standard telco bill.

Sounds Sweet but WHERE to Download?

As of date of post, the application is still not available for download on the Android Marketplace yet. Well, fear not, WhatsApp has given us a link for Android 2.1 and above users to download them. The best way would be to use your Android powered phone and go to the mentioned web link

http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

Here’s what the website would show when you’re on that page.

Good money spent.

Save money on your SMSes with your friends that are using WhatsApp. Android users can now download WhatsApp.

Noticed this familiar application running. Now what about other operating systems like the Symbian OS from Nokia? It’s also now available for beta testing.

No mentioned on the website of WhatsApp as to where to download the Android version, unless you’re following their twitter at @whatsappinc.

Android users please download them by browsing using your Android browser at http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

Note: As of now, WhatsApp for Android only supports Android 2.2, so Android 2.1 users and below would have to wait for upcoming support for WhatsApp for Android 2.1.

From the website if using Android 2.1 from my HTC HERO.

Let’s cross our fingers for those using the older OS.

On the Android platform, this is how the Welcome Screen of the Cardio Trainer looks like. A little bit about this application.

CardioTrainer is a free application for Android smartphones that let’s you track and record all of your fitness activity

Here are the functions of this application.

TechieDan has reviewed this application and has been using this application for nearly half a year and to think it’s impressive. One of it is the integration with Facebook that enables one to share their timing and route of the run.

Earlier versions had an error in determining the GPS, but the latest update from Worksmart Labs for Cardio Trainer has ensured that it’s good to use. This application is free to use and one can keep records of their fitness activity.

Special Note

This is how it looks on Facebook when Cardio Trainer is set to auto published the running time on Facebook.

Simple summary and definitely good to know. But what if one wanted to share out the whole running event and their race. As mentioned there’s this new integration and one can actually link Cardio Trainer with their Facebook profile. Here’s how it looks like.

With details of the date, distance, duration, map and also a chart below, this describes how usable this application is on an Android device.

Ratings

For the record, for usability am giving it a 9/10 for it’s ease of use and there are many more enhancements that could be done. Still not the perfect one yet. One of the best fitness app in the Android Market for now.

Rumors

Upcoming features planned for this application would be to integrate it with Twitter. Something every social networker would love.

Presenting PicSay, which TechieDan has been using to modify photos before uploading them to Facebook and Twitter via mobile.

Instead of wasting time looking for a laptop or a personal computer to enhance your digital image and to re-size them, PicSay does it all for you all on your Android Gadget. The free version comes with the basic photo editing options that one needs.

PicSay offers 3 sizes for a photo, from

• Normal 320 x 479
• High 428 x 640 PRO
  
• Maximum 725 x 1084 PRO

As seen though, only the first option is available for the free version. Here are some of the features that one can do with PicSay.

Amazing? Yes, only for the Pro edition. The very least this was what TechieDan did with the free version of PicSay.

All those cute photos are readily made available with PicSay.

Conclusion

Definitely a 9/10 for a splendid picture editing application for the Android. What more can one ask for? Application was tested on the HTC Hero which worked perfectly as of written date.
