Pinterest For Android Due This Week
Well that’s the rumor at least, VentureBeat amongst others are reporting that Pinterest is listed in the Google I/O app as ‘now available for Android’. Despite this, the company themselves are denying this,
“In terms of anything being announced there, we’re excited about the Android platform and are working hard on building a great app. However, we don’t have plans to announce anything at I/O,” spokeswoman Erica Billups told VentureBeat today. Pinterest will be doing demos in a developer “sandbox” at the conference, according to Billups.
We will have to wait and see of course, but we would expect to see an Android version of this incredibly popular app at some point. Pinterest themselves have said in the past that they are working on a dedicated Android app after all. It’s a case of watch this space folks…
