An Interview With Brian Biniak, The Man Aiming To Bring Instagram To Nokia's Windows Phones
Nokia's Brian Biniak has a tough job — he's the guy who forges partnerships with all the hottest apps to bring them aboard Nokia devices, which now means Windows Phone 8. However, even with it's steady growth, the Windows Phone platform only accounts for around 5 percent of the global market, behind second-place iOS and ever-growing Android. For small, lean startups (like Instagram once was, for example), developing for an entirely new platform with comparatively limited reach, it's a reasonably tough sell. But it's Brian's job, and today he absolutely nailed it (with one very obvious shortcoming). Path has joined Windows Phone 8 with an app specially tailored to the Lumia 1020's 41-megapixel capabilities, alongside a new CNN iReporter app, Hipstamatic app, Oggl Pro, Yelp, foursquare, and promise of a Vine app later on.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/5XWdVDkUIoo/
