Instagram Rocks With Android

The numbers of Instagram do not stop to impress . After its release Android reaches the incredible milestone of 1 million downloads in less than 24 hours, the company was bought by Facebook for $ 1 billion. Now, according to The Next Web site, a new and even more striking landmark application for Android has been reached: 5 million downloads in just six days.


This number becomes even more amazing when put into perspective: iOS, the application took six months to reach the same milestone. Obviously this does not mean that Instagram won more than 5 million new users in the service, although the company has stated that the release of Android was receiving 2,000 new registrations per minute. But the chart available on the Instagram Play on Google indicates that at least 5 million facility took place on Android since the launch.

Is available in two major mobile platforms on the planet, Instagram can even afford to ignore the rest of them. But if they are smart they will use the money to invest in Facebook in a version for users of Windows Phone as well and I think that social integration built into the system can be very well used in this type of app. Not to mention that Microsoft also take advantage of the fact, showing that its platform is a popular application.
