One of the applications that might not arrive on devices powered by Research In Motion’s upcoming BlackBerry 10 platform is Instagram, some of the latest reports on the matter suggest.

According to an article on VentureBeat, Facebook will not make the application available for the upcoming mobile operating system, although users might be able to take advantage of RIM’s own photo editor with filters.

Facebook’s photo-sharing service already has over 100 million users, and BlackBerry 10 users will certainly be disappointed to not be attending the party, provided that the rumor pans out.

According to CrackBerry, however, the thought of skipping BlackBerry 10 from the list of Instagram-supported mobile platforms is far from Facebook’s mind.

Such an application will be released, based on the strong relations between the social network and the Canadian mobile phone marker.

A new Facebook for BlackBerry 10 application is also in the works, as RIM has showcased at the BlackBerry Jam Americas conference.
