"Facebook begins to get nervous that a social-sharing company like Instagram is able to migrate from iOS to Android so seamlessly."
Wat? Facebook isn't run by suits who have never heard of an API. I agree it was impactful that a million people download the Android client in a day, but that was fairly predictable given the iOS popularity and no clear alternative in Android land.
And it did take 18 months to move from iOS to Android! (Not that taking their time was a bad thing. I heard them at Le Web say they're focusing on good people and didn't want to hire ahead of themselves.)
