iMessage on Android news has been all the rage over the last month and a half due to the saga of Beeper Mini. Almost as quickly as it showed up on the Google Play Store, it’s been taken down. Beeper Mini basically turned Androids into iPhones by virtue of text messages, utilizing an open-source method to access Apple iMessage natively. It was too good to be true, even if we were super excited about its prospects in December. Another twist in the saga has emerged, however: Users who have been using Beeper Cloud well into the new year are reporting that Apple has blocked iMessage on their Macs entirely.
