I seriously can’t praise Amazon Wireless enough for the amazing deals they offer on smartphones. Anyone looking to purchase a phone should really consider checking out Amazon Wireless before making any decisions because they really do offer the best prices. In fact, throughout the month of March, every Sprint 4G smartphone is on sale for a penny. Not only can you get a new phone for a penny but if you purchase before March 19th, Amazon will also waive the activation fee (a $36 deal).
Instagram is one of the most wildly successful apps to ever hit the iOS App Store. The app’s co-founder, Kevin Systrom, recently revealed that Instagram now boasts 27 million active users on the iPhone alone during the South by Southwest conference (SXSW) in Austin, Texas.
We’ve all been clamoring for the popular social photography app to make its way to Android for many months, and it has been confirmed that Instagram for Android is coming “very soon.” The app is currently being tested in private beta.
The boldest claim Systrom made was that Instagram for Android is, in some ways, “better than our iPhone app.”
Many of you have been patiently waiting for the Readability app to come to Android and today it has — sort of. Amazon apparently inked a deal with Readability to launch the app exclusively on the Amazon App Store for the first week, so if you want to get it today, your only option is Amazon (for now). I know what you non-US residents are thinking and no, it does not exclude you. In fact, you guys actually get to download it from the Google Play Store (how do you like them apples).
March Madness starts tomorrow and there’s no better way to keep track of the games, as well as your bracket, than with the official NCAA March Madness app for Android. The app is free to download and comes with many features, including the ability to live stream the games on select devices for an additional $3.99 upgrade. Before I get into features, I’ll save most of you the trouble by pointing out there’s no tablet support of any kind, so if you were hoping to watch the games on your Transformer Prime or any other tablet, forget about it (at least for now).
Are you an iOS/Android/Web Developer looking to work with a great group of individuals in a startup environment? Do you like Korean food and FIFA 2012? Then you might want to take a look at Boxee as they’re looking for developers in NYC to join their crew. To get potential candidates excited, Boxee is even offering up free Boxee Boxes to interviewees. That’s right, if you apply and end up getting an interview (whether in person or over Skype), Boxee will award you with a free Boxee Box. It’s like getting paid for trying to get paid!
