Instapaper finally hits Android, proves even Apple fanboys have to show Android love | VentureBeat | Mobile | by Devindra Hardawar
Summary
Today Instapaper finally makes it way to Android smartphones and tablets for $2.99, brought to you by the app development firm Mobelux. What’s more interesting is why he decided to finally adopt Android: “I think it was the success of the Kindle Fire and the Nook that tipped my hand,” Arment told the Verge in an interview. Alongside Instagram and Flipboard, Instapaper was one of the few wildly popular iOS apps that were absent on Android. I’ve heard from many former Instapaper users who moved over to competing bookmarking service Read It Later, which recently rebranded itself as Pocket. Arment still prefers iOS as a user, he said in the interview, but appreciates certain aspects of Android as a developer — for instance, the ability to make Instapaper appear in the browser’s share menu.
