Finally, we have a time frame for the arrival of Vine for Android. According to the founders of Vine, the short video (GIF-like) application that has become a major success on iOS, is definitely making its way to Android. All we have for when to expect it is “soon,” but I will take that over “not coming” any day of the week. 

This reminds me of the days before Instagram launched on Android, since once it finally comes, I have a feeling iOS users will be clamoring how the app used to be better before we got it. Oh, sweet memories.

Excited?

Vine Founders Say an Android Version is Coming “Soon” is a post from: Droid Life

After teasing the app for some time, Cinemagram is finally available for Android. For those not in the know, think of this application as Vine, the video/GIF-sharing app on iOS. You record four seconds of video, apply an effect and then let it rip. The video then either rewinds itself back and forth or repeats itself from the beginning. The app is laid out like Instagram, but instead of still shots, you see GIF-like posts from friends and people you follow. 

Making a “Cine” isn’t hard at all. Simply point at what you want to shoot, hold down the record button for as long as you choose (up to four seconds), apply a video filter (or don’t), and then publish. Before I make any real judgment, I will have to try the app out, but so far it isn’t bad at all.

Go check it out and have some fun.

Cinemagram Finally Arrives for Android, Think “GIFs on Steroids” is a post from: Droid Life

It was only a matter of time from when Vine, Twitter’s new video sharing service, was announced to when we would be seeing it on Android. According to a job posting today from Vine, that time might be longer than we thought. The 3 person developer team is looking to add 6 more people, including a Lead Android Engineer.

Now, this doesn’t mean that Vine hasn’t been working on an Android version at all, but it seems that way. Once the company nails down their Engineer, then work should hopefully start towards getting us Android users in on the game.

Will you use Vine once it lands on Android or is it just another network that we don’t need?

Vine Looking for Android Developers, Don’t Expect an App Anytime Soon Though is a post from: Droid Life

Twitter just announced a new video sharing service called Vine. Vine, a company they acquired a few months back, focuses on recording 6-second clips of life events that run on an infinite loop which can be shared easily. The videos record sound as well. 

At this point, the Vine app is only available on the iPhone and iPod Touch, with work on other platforms happening now. All they would say as far as release goes is “stay tuned for that.” We would imagine that Android is second on the list behind iOS if these guys have any sort of intelligence.

The service itself sounds highly entertaining to me. Can you imagine the brilliant 6-second videos that our beautiful internet is going to cook up? It’s like a wonderful GIF, only it has sound.
