75% of my contacts who use a smartphone, already use WhatsApp. i dont see this taking off unless they provide some kind of bridge to existing services to ensure cross plattform capabilities.
- ugh 15y agoThe bridge is SMS. It's seamless with SMS. I would guess that mobile usage of SMS is still more common than mobile usage of IM. Instead of picking some IM app as a brdige Apple decided to pick SMS which seems like the right choice to me. I don't think iMessage will convince many people to update. Most people probably won't even know that they are using iMessage. The only effect they will see is a shrinking phone bill.
