Google Pixel, Pixel XL Up for Pre-Orders Open on Flipkart

Flipkart is now taking pre-orders for Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL, which were unveiled at a special event in San Francisco last week. Price in India for the Google Pixel starts at Rs. 57,000 and Flipkart is promising delivery of these smartphones by October 25.

While only three SKUs of the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL smartphones are up for pre-order on Flipkart right now, a Google spokesperson confirmed to Gadgets 360 that the rest of the SKUs will go up for pre-order later on Thursday. Google unveiled the Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones in two storage capacities, and three colours, out of which we were told the Really Blue colour won't launch in India, leaving us with two colours. So two phones, two storage capacities, and two possible colours would mean a total of eight SKUs, all of which will become available for pre-orders on Thursday.
As launch day offers, Flipkart is offering exchange discount up to Rs. 27,000 on the new Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, as well as electronic gift vouchers of 10 percent of the value of the smartphone you buy for the first 1000 Pixel/ Pixel XL smartphone buyers.

Instagram Finally Arrives on Windows 10 Desktops, Tablets #TechNews #windows10 #Instagram

Instagram has finally been made available to Windows 10 desktop and tablet users. To recall, Instagram first made its way to Windows 10 Mobile platform though was limited to mobile devices. Users can now download Instagram for Windows 10 PCs from the company's Windows App Store.

Much like the mobile version of the app, Instagram for Windows 10 tablets will allow users to capture, edit, and share directly from the device. However, the Windows 10 devices should pack a camera to click images.

The Windows App Store listing of Instagram notes, "Keep in mind that other devices running Windows 10 may not support certain features, like the ability to capture and upload photos and videos." The app also includes all of the popular features including Instagram Stories, Direct, and Explore.

The Next Web points out that the new Instagram app for Windows 10 desktops and tablets is currently best suited for the latter. The report adds that the desktop app often crashes when adding a Story.

Back in April, Facebook, Messenger and Instagram apps arrived together on the Windows platform. Instagram arrived for Windows 10 Mobile in April, and is only now making its way to the Windows 10 desktop and tablets. Unfortunately, Instagram is still not "tailored" for iPads and users have to download a tweaked version of iPhone app.

"Today [Thursday], we're excited to expand to more of the Windows community by bringing Instagram to tablets running Windows 10," said Instagram team on Thursday in a blog post while announcing the availability for Windows 10 desktops and tablets.

Instagram in August crossed 1 billion downloads on Google Play and was the nineteenth app to do so on the Android platform. The app joined the likes of other popular apps from Facebook such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and Messenger. The image sharing platform already has a user base of 500 million monthly users.
