Samsung is insane for not acquiring WhatsApp.
- mtgx 14y agoI'd rather it remained a cross Android/iOS app (the right strategy, too, here) than a "Samsung-only" app like ChatON, which "nobody" uses.
- notatoad 14y agoi don't see how it makes any sense for samsung. they're a hardware company, and the only way an app drives hardware sales is if it is exclusive. if you make whatsapp exclusive to samsung devices, you take away all of its value.
- badclient 14y agoThey don't have to make it exclusive to Samsung but they can build it into their version of Android. It gives them a leg up to iMessage since iMessage is apple-only.
