Google adds App Search

A new option has recently appeared in Google searches, called Applications. When clicked, it searches for the query searched, but looks specifically for apps, searching sites like Apple.com (for iOS apps), Google.com (for Android apps), CNET.com, and more. You can choose from a few sites to search specifically, as to find certain apps that may be compatible with your device, or apps from a site you specifically trust.

A  full-size screenshot of the new feature in action can be seen here.

Instagram finally available for Android

Instagram, the extremely popular photo sharing app, has finally been released on Android. As we reported earlier, the Android version of this popular app has been in the making for a while, but hit Google Play (formerly known as the Android Market. Confusing, right?) today. 

This app brings the same photo-sharing functionality as the iOS version did. It allows you to take or import a photo, a cool retro filters, and share it out for the world to see. 

The app has been so popular, in fact, that Kevin Systrom, CEO of Instagram, said that it had been logging 2,000 new sign-ups a minute. Not bad.

The app can be downloaded for free from Google Play here. More information can be found at instagram.com.

Kindle Fire Gets Updated

A minor update to the Kindle Fire, Amazon's color touch-screen multimedia tablet, began rolling out to users today. Version 6.3 adds a few minor features, including a new toolbar for sharing notes and passages from inside a book. Another, more major feature, is called "Book Extras". Book Extras brings extra written content into the book you are currently reading, including glossaries or biographies. Another new feature extends the rental period for movies. The rental period now starts from when you start playing the movie, as opposed to from when it's downloaded. Textbooks will now retain formatting and page numbers, to make it easy for a Kindle-using student to keep up with the class in regard to textbook page numbers. Personal documents added  to the device will now be synced with Amazon Cloud.

Rooters, do not fear. Although the update will revert the rooting process taken, the xda-developer forums already have rooting instructions for the latest update. You should be prompted to install the update on your Fire, but if you are not, you can download it from Amazon's website here.
