So a tiny minority of people, then. I would be deeply concerned about launching a mobile platform on that basis.


In this case, the platform exists. This would be moving it to mobile and extending its audience/reach. I'm not big into photography so I'm a terrible judge of this particular domain. But it strikes me that if you are absent in such a large market as mobile, but already have a substantial user base you're risking losing customers as they move to the more convenient platforms. It also presents a barrier for new customers: go with a potentially better, but not on mobile, platform, or the slightly inferior, but available everywhere, platform?


Flickr already has an Android app, not particularly popular one though. There were late to the game, but so was Instagram.
