The Instagram service has been growing in popularity and prominence since its launch in October 2010 as an app for the iPhone and iPod touch.

It seems that jailbreakers and potential unlockers are having to wait longer and longer for news to cheer about as the cat and mouse game with Apple and the networks becomes more and more difficult for those involved in producing jailbreaks and iPhone unlocks.

We often rely on the experts in specific fields to divulge information unbeknown to the tech world, but sometimes, the direction of the tide is impossible to overlook, leaving said experts with no choice but to state the obvious.
