There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works

The question is how long Apple will let it.

• A new Android app called Beeper Mini allows users to send iMessages as blue bubbles from non-Apple devices.

• Beeper Mini bypasses traditional iMessage hacks by directly sending iMessages from Android devices.

• The app has been praised for its smooth functionality, sending messages seamlessly between Android and iPhone users.

    As nice as it would be to have all my messaging in one app rather than across a half dozen, I just can’t picture paying a monthly fee to do it.

        Exactly, either setting themselves as an alternative to Twilio, or to be acquired by them. Companies will pay more than $2/month/user for customer engagement on all platforms.

      I’m not sure what the business model is here (I have no interest in iMessage) but unlike the previous ones this solution doesn’t require a Mac mini farm. Messages are sent directly from the Android device.

      So it doesn’t require a monthly fee to be profitable.
