Aside from the actual product announcement... I'm interested to see that they created an Android and iOS version at the same time. For the past several years, Android apps were typically pushed off a month (or years, in Instagram's case).

I wonder if their Android app drove much of their adoption in the past year or so, and as such, they decided to make sure they could launch feature-complete apps on both platforms on day one?

If so - will Android finally start getting apps on pace with iOS?

Recently, Foursquare & Tumblr released new features on Android first then followed by iOS weeks later.

Probably because you can update your app on Google Play instantly. On App Store, you'll have to go through the verification process for each update.
