Popular pinboard-style social photo sharing site Pinterest rolled out apps for Android-powered devices and for iOS-powered iPhones and iPads as well.

This week the Pinterest team announced the release of dedicated Android and iOS apps. If you have an Android-powered smartphone, anything from Android 2.2 onward, you can get the Pinterest app from the Google Play Store here. If you have an iOS-powered iPhone or iPad, iOS 5.0 or newer, you can get it from Apple’s App Store here. You won’t have to part with any of your money to get the Android or iOS Pinterest apps – they’re offered free of charge.

“Today, we’re making it easier to take your inspirations with you by providing new apps for Android, iPad and iPhone,” announced the Pinterest team via its official blog. “Whether you’re traveling to another city, checking out gadgets in a store, or cooking dinner in your kitchen, you can now take Pinterest with you. Our apps allow you to pin, discover, and access your account from wherever you choose.”

Earlier this month Pinterest announced that it dropped the invite requirement for joining the site. Or to put it in other words, Pinterest announced that anyone who wants to join the pinboard-style social photo sharing site can do so without needing an invite. Anyone can join Pinterest with a valid email address, a Facebook or a Twitter account.

“Today we’re thrilled to announce open registration!” announced on August 8th the Pinterest team on the official Pinterest blog. “For those of you who haven’t joined Pinterest yet, this means you can sign up without waiting for an invite: all you have to do is go to Pinterest.com to get started. In addition to using your Facebook or Twitter login, we’re also opening registration so you can sign up with just your email address.”
