Instagram already enjoys over 14million users on the iOS platform ! The application lets users apply filters on captured images giving them  a uniquely retro look. The company plans to generate a revenue stream via advertisements in the application.

“I think the advertising experience is going to be extremely engaging,” Systrom said. “It’s much harder with text,” but Instagram offers photos, and brand names such as Audi, Kate Spade, and Burberry have joined Instagram.

Instagram expects to double its membership to about 30 million users with the launch of the Android app.
