Instagram, Instagram, Instagram: What are you doing?

Three years after launching an iOS app, folding itself into Facebook's enormously powerful and rich arms, adding ambitious new features like video, integrating advertising, and amassing a few hundred million active users, Instagram has at last launched an app for Windows Phone 8.
