If what’s in the article is true then it’s a shame the app was pulled. Having said that, I’m not surprised by Apple’s reaction.

In addition, I don’t think the app would prevent Android users who want to switch to the iPhone from switching.

Then again, I’m not a kid and therefore, iMessage would not be the primary reason for me switching to an iPhone. Heck, if things hadn’t gone south with RIM, I’d more than likely still be using a BlackBerry….

Ditto. I loved all my Blackberry devices.

Have people ever heard of WhatsApp? It is a free app! That's what the rest of the world, where the vast majority of Androids and iPhones can be found, use. People only use iMessage in the US.

Interesting. I have relatives in England, France, Germany and Ecuador. All blue bubbles.

Funny that, I live in the UK and most of my communication is on iMessage.
What leads you to believe What’s App is free ? do you put no value on your Data?
