(CNN) -- Seriously, iPhone fans? Just hours after Instagram, a mobile app that lets users layer pre-programmed filters over their photos to achieve maximum hipness, launched on Google's Android operating system Tuesday, the snark began. Until then, the 18-month-old app had been exclusive to Apple devices. "Instagram went from a gated community to section 8 all in 1 day," wrote Twitter user @joelby1328. That widely shared message (surrounded by other gems such as "I'm smoking with a (expletive) newbie! She still has other people light her bowl for her!!!") was as good a representative as any of a surprising number of tweets suggesting, or downright saying, that Android phone users are in some way inferior to iPhone owners.
