Windows Phone is finally getting Instagram, helping to alleviate its lack of apps. Instagram CEO Kevin Sytrom confirmed today at the Nokia World Conference that the photo and video social network was coming to the Windows Phone platform. “Our ultimate goal is to bring Instagram to everyone who wants to use it. We’re looking forward to watching the Windows Phone community use Instagram to capture and share beautiful moments in the coming weeks.” said Systrom.
Instagram is certainly a big app but Nokia also announced that Twitter’s Vine video social network and Flipboard would also be coming to Windows Phone. Popular games like Temple Run 2 and My Talking Tom will also be released for Windows Phone soon.
As Microsoft nails down huge apps like Instagram, it’s turning Windows Phone into a viable third mobile operating system. With BlackBerry out of the way, Windows Phone could be a strong contender, following Android and iOS‘s popularity.
