Does the 1m in one hour really mean much? We've heard about the iPhone app, not it was available for Android, so we checked it out (except not everybody did, I did not). There won't be 1m new users per hour, it was just the first hour.

That statistic represents pent-up demand. It's now available on the mobile OS with the largest share of the smartphone market.

You don't expect Instagram to double its user base within a year? Maybe even more?
