has been updated to version 4.0.2, adding a couple of small but important improvements.

The app now supports both photo and video recording in landscape mode, and anti-shake reduction for video capture has been included for the iPhone's front facing camera.
What's New in Version 4.0.2
- Take photos or record video holding the Instagram camera in landscape orientation
- Support for Cinema using front-facing cameras
- Many other improvements and bug fixes
Cinema was first added in late June, after Instagram debuted Instagram Video. It is Instagram's unique version of image stabilization that is designed to cut down on motion blur. Previously, it was limited to the back-facing camera, but will now work with both of the iPhone cameras.

Instagram is a free app that can be downloaded from the App Store. [Direct Link]

Maybe I don't get it (never used Instagram), but why does it matter for square photos? Videos, I understand...

the pictures (and videos) are still square... just that you can hold the phone sideways now and it will correctly display that orientation.. in the past, if you shot a video with the camera in landscape, it would show up sideways on instagram

Still can't get this video feature to work. Every time I try to record a video to post, it crashes back to the home screen. Never got it to work. Using latest iOS and iPhone 5...
