Instagram's Layout app launches on iOS, Android version coming soon

Instagram today announced the launch of a brand new standalone app called Layout. This enables users to create customized photo collages (or layouts) from the images in their camera roll.

Up to 9 photos can be combined in a layout, and, according to Instagram, the new app's "smooth, intuitive process gives you complete creative control." You can flip and rotate photos, rearrange them, or resize them individually. Moreover, there's a Photo Boot option that lets you capture spontaneous shots which will be instantly included in a collage.

Layout is currently available on iOS as a free application (see the second source link below). Instagram says that it will launch the app on Android sometime soon ("in the coming months", to be precise).

Layout is not the first standalone app released by Instagram since the company's been acquired by Facebook in 2012. Another app, which is exclusively available on iOS as of last year, is Hyperlapse (this lets you easily create and share time lapse videos).

Thus far, iOS users seem to really like Layout. Have you tried the app?

Apple Car

Could This Be The Apple Car? There’s been plenty written about the potential Apple car. Now, though, we have an interesting guess as to what it might look like when it hits the road. This version is quintessentially Apple with smooth lines, tons of technology, and that iconic Apple logo prominently featured. These Apple car concepts were drawn up by CarWow ,and they include both interior and exterior design possibilities. It starts by taking a cue from Tesla with an absentee grille and flowing, aerodynamic lines that look a bit like the Magic Mouse. Colors are white, black, and gold in a nod to the newest iPhones with carbon-fiber reinforced plastics that include a coating to keep dirt from marring that perfect finish. The wheels are designed to cut drag and look good. The interior is where it suddenly looks like no other car. There’s a fingerprint-reading home button on the driver and passenger front doors and it’s all unlocked from the outside with a left to rig...

Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well, Apple . In a series of photos posted to his website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras. Similar to a typical quadcopter, the Apple drone has four rotors and four cameras that can shoot still and panoramic photos (up to 100MP). The concept, which was first spotted by CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...

HTC One M9 vs Apple iPhone 6

HTC One M9 vs Apple iPhone 6 (Video) They’ve got almost nothing in common besides their aluminum casings – and that shouldn’t come as too big a surprise. The iPhone 6 is Apple’s crown jewel, a curved and super-thin ingot packing technologies cherry-picked by Apple to run its closed and meticulously managed iOS platform. By contrast, HTC’s One M9 is a thick block of precision-machined metals, its sharp angles exaggerated by a dual-anodization manufacturing process, its software a heavily customized version of the much more mutable Android Lollipop. There’s so much more to say – but it’s all been said; to get the full picture of each of these handsets you’ve got to check out the full reviews. We called the iPhone 6 “excellence exemplified” despite its aesthetic devolution from previous models, and we criticized HTC for too little evolution in its product since last year’s outstanding One M8. Check those out to get the lay of th...
