INSTAGRAM, an app which lets friends share their photos in a continuous feed, has been crowned Apple's iPhone App of Year in Australia.
Apple said Instagram was the "definitive photo-sharing app" of 2011.
Instagram, widely hailed as a runaway success, has been downloaded more than 13 million times and is reported to be gaining an extra one million users roughly each fortnight.
But Apple’s App Store may not remain the only source of Instagram, with its CEO Kevin Systrom reported as confirming an Android version of the app is being developed in a speech this week at the LeWeb conference in Paris.
An Apple Australia spokeswoman said the company picked its awards based on both an assessment of content and the number of downloads in the relevant country’s iTunes and Apps stores.
In the Australian store, Tiny Wings, a game where a player tries to fly, but is handicapped by wings that are too small, is iPhone Game of The Year, while another photo sharing and editing app, Snapseed, is iPad app of the year locally.
Firemint’s Real Racing 2HD, a motor racing game with high quality graphics, is iPad Game of the Year.
English recording artist Adele’s second studio album 21, which sold 4.8 million copies was the iTunes Album of the Year while Making Mirrors, an album by Belgian-born Australian musician Gotye, was Australian Album of the Year.
Gotye’s single, Somebody that I Used to Know, was Song of the Year.
Angry Birds was the top paid iPhone and iPad app, The Social Network was iTunes' best-selling movie and Doctor Who was the best-selling season TV series. An episode of Walking Dead was the best-selling TV episode.
In Australia, the best fiction book was Caleb’s Crossing by Geraldine Brooks, while Ellen DeGeneres' Seriously ... I'm Kidding was the best non-fiction book in Australia.
Apple founder Steve Jobs’ biography was best-selling nonfiction book in the US. |

Australian telco Telstra is currently working with Apple to resolve bizarre coverage dropouts on the iPhone 4S, according to ZDNet. For a couple of months, iPhone 4S users on Telstra's network have reported that the iPhone will randomly lose signal and drop to "Searching..." for about a minute before reacquiring the network.
According to Telstra, this is an "issue with iPhone 4S hardware incompatibility due to network upgrades," and the company is "working on fix with Apple currently through software updates." Telstra's engineers told ZDNet they believe the signal dropout woes can be resolved soon through an update to network settings, which will probably be pushed to users' phones in the form of a carrier update.
This isn't the first time we've heard of Apple's newest handset having network compatibility issues. Throughout October and November we received numerous reports from readers in India claiming that the iPhone 4S wasn't compatible with networks in that country. However, just like in Telstra's case, it seemed that this was not so much due to issues with the iPhone 4S itself but rather networks needing to update carrier files on users' devices in order to ensure full compatibility.
So far we've heard no reports of network issues with the iPhone 4S on any of Australia's other networks, and iPhone 4S users in neighboring New Zealand have also had no problems on any of that country's major wireless networks. |

ZDNet: Just two weeks into owning a new iPhone 4S, iMessage has severely reduced the volume of SMSes I send, but will Australian telcos care?
The cross-device iMessage service included in the release of iOS 5 is one of the more sneaky encroachments on traditional telco territory over the past few years. Its seamless integration into the regular SMS service means that more often than not, you don't notice whether you're sending a message using the traditional carrier SMS service or via the data network using iMessage. The only way to tell is that iMessages are in blue speech bubbles, while normal text messages are in green.
It's really a case of set and forget. I don't have to know in advance if someone I'm messaging has iMessage, or not, the app figures that out for me. If I'm not in an area with adequate data coverage? That's fine, it'll go by SMS instead. Prior to this, I did use alternatives such as WhatsApp or through Facebook messaging, but it just doesn't compare.
The cross-device application means I can see the message history on either my iPad or iPhone and there's no risk of losing previous messages if I ever need to get them back. In two weeks, I would estimate it's halved the amount of SMSes I would send through traditional means.
But I wonder if that is all bad news for telcos.
In the US, AT&T responded to the announcement of iMessage by removing all options on plans except either a US$20 per month for unlimited messages or 20 cents per message. The idea being that customers would either have to opt to pay the higher cost or just pay a higher price per individual text message.
According to the The Sydney Morning Herald, people on Telstra sent 9.9 billion text messages last year. Based on Telstra's customer numbers, I'd estimate that to be close to 850 messages per mobile.
It sounds like a lot to give up, but I don't predict that Aussie telcos will be worried about all its SMS revenue declining any time soon. For one simple reason: unlimited SMS plans.
A cursory glance at the plans available on all three major mobile telcos will show that a good portion of the plans come with unlimited SMSes within Australia. There are some plans that charge 25 cents per text on a cap, but pretty much all of the current iPhone plans out there come with some form of unlimited text.
All this means is that customers in Australia will be forfeiting their free SMS to move over and use their capped data plans for messages. Although I seriously doubt that the amount of data used in iMessage would chew through an entire monthly data quota on its own, it's still more worthwhile for the telcos to have their customers send messages using data that is anything but "unlimited".
But more than anything, iMessage is just a warning sign for mobile network operators. It shows, as Vodafone noted yesterday, that Apple is not the friend of mobile operators. While the Cupertino company is happy to use your network, anything after that is fair game. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to consider that Apple's next target will be voice, meaning mobile operators will find themselves in a situation where they are little more than a mobile internet provider. |

Mac Rumors: Apple's Find My Friends app, which was announced last week when the iPhone 4S was unveiled, is now live in the App Store [link opens iTunes]. Find My Friends requires iOS 5, which is scheduled for release today.
Find My Friends allows you to easily locate your friends and family from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Install this free app on your iOS 5 device and sign in with the Apple ID you use with iCloud. Adding a friend is easy – just send a request to see their location.

Find My Friends is a universal app compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. As previously mentioned, it requires iOS 5 and is therefore limited to the models capable of running the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, which include the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3rd- and 4th-generation iPod touch, and the iPad and iPad 2. |
