Free (as in beer) Dynos

Hobby dynos are real dynos. :) Professional dynos, like the new `standard-1x` will have scale-out, Heroku Metrics, preboot, and mix with other dyno types: all features we have found are most useful for apps at scale.

We hope that between the new `free` and `hobby` dynos you should have good choices that support almost any personal or small scale professional app you might want to build.

So hobby dynos should be able to run the same type of application as a 1x dyno, just with fewer other features more or less?

I have a small scale web application (around 5K pageviews per day) that runs very well on the one free web dyno currently offered. (We do have costs for the DB and SSL). I assume in the next few months I'll have to move it to either a hobby or 1x dyno. Obviously I'd rather move it to the hobby one because I don't need an additional $220 or so cost per year. It would be great to have a few more details on the site about the specs behind the free and hobby dynos!
