There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works

The question is how long Apple will let it.

Note: this is a paid subscription service with a 7-day trial. $1.99 USD/mo.

      I’d much rather Google innovate, make a better product, and not cancel it, but if this brings more young people over to Android in America, I’m all for it.

      If things continue how they have been, I won’t realistically be able to use Android because the overwhelming majority of people around me will be using iPhones. That has a knock on effect of poor support on Android apps, missing features, missing out on integration experiences, etc. which makes it harder and harder to use Android. You could still choose to use Android but if like 80%-90% of people are using iPhones, you may as well be using an old flip phone.

      Edit: to be clear, I’m not saying iPhones are better than Androids. My concern is with phone use trends in the US and what that will mean for us in the next few decades

    The best thing I can say about Beeper Mini is that almost no one noticed I was using it: blue bubbles just started appearing — no lost messages to speak of.

    For all the bitching and moaning about green bubbles, no one even noticed the blue one?

      Not sure if I’m going to keep an active acct tho. Not until it integrates with more services. That’s on the road map
