iMessage on Android

it is Difficult to not sound like anything iMessage, but let’s just say that it is the WhatsApp application from Apple. It is integrated in the Mac, the iPhone, the iPad and even the Apple Watch. Its operation is the same as that of the messaging application that we use every day, but the fact of being cross-platform for all Apple devices makes it particularly useful. The only problem, of course, is that it is not available for Android and other operating systems. But that could change, because according to John Gruber, a well-known technology guru very close to Apple, the company from Cupertino would be working in a cross-platform version of iMessage. Would come to Android with its own interface of Material Design, which actually only would be a more app of the company in the ecosystem android, following the path of Apple Music.

Desire of Steve Jobs

But the most curious thing of all is that the arrival of iMessage to Android could have actually been a desire of Steve Jobs. Contrary to what many may think today, that Apple doesn’t launch these services because they want to have something that can’t be undone users of the iPhone, what is certain is that the idea that he was the founder of the company at its head was very different. And it all started with FaceTime. As with the application of video calls, Steve Jobs wanted this to be free and open, so that it could be integrated by other manufacturers in their smartphones. What Steve Jobs wanted to do was to set a new standard of communication for video calls. The big problem is that FaceTime never was developed to be free, so that at the legal level this presented many complications for the software that was used.

however, this leaves us clear what was the idea of Steve Jobs. Not wanted to be limited to launch a service for their devices, but a service that will change the way we communicate, that would make the phone part out of the past, and that we now saw the faces to speak.

Following this philosophy Apple now I would like to launch iMessage for Android. What is certain is that, as a user of Android and from Mac that I am, the workings of iMessage, it seems to me the level, and even better, than that of WhatsApp. Although there are no very great differences, how well integrated it is in all the Apple devices means that sometimes I want to ask, only for that reason, acquire an iPhone. The arrival of the watches smart, the communication through them and others, it could be something key.
