Instagram could be the surprise guest, by arriving on Windows Phone 8 in the market. TheVerge website explains that it is only a weeks quesiton before the application is formalized on this new platform.

Restricted for a long time for iOS as well as launching successfully last few months on Android system, Instagram application is currently being finalized on Windows Phone 8. It is the site, TheVerge, that gives this information, citing first a visible image in a video dedicated to Nokia Lumia 920. At the 52nd second of the video, at top right, it is possible to see what might be on Instagram ... WP8 Vimeo or application, as the site says.

However, TheVerge said they had confirmation that porting Instagram on the new mobile OS from Microsoft was well underway, and it could also be developed by the company itself, with a partnership with original developers. Indeed, it seems that the Instagram team, now part of Facebook since its purchase, do not work directly on the application. A situation that is not unique since Microsoft is already occupied, among other things, the development of the Facebook application on Windows Phone 7.

Actually, this message has made the rounds today, because TheVerge website has discovered a live tile with a reference to Instagram for Windows Phone in a marketing video from Nokia. But that could also just as easily be another application. And there is no confirmation from either Nokia or Microsoft or instagram, if one checks it out.
