Does it run Whatsapp? No? What is this, a cellphone? Oh, cool, but we stopped using cellphones a while back, we now use portable computers the size of a cellphone which run widely adopted social apps. It's for a niche market you say? Oh, cool.
Sarcasm aside: I am still waiting for an official FFOS Whatsapp version, meanwhile I am using my ZTE Open as a PC+camera+GCM dongle to run some fun hacks, kindda like a Tessel Machine.
True, although there is a couple of unofficial APIs that have managed to stay up. Now, the big question, how will FB make its money back? It has to open Whatsapp to advertizers and/or integrate to its platform of services. Or did it buy it to take it down while pushing FB chat as a standalone web/native app?
