Beeper Mini debuted on Android last week, allowing green bubble users to jump on the blue bubble bandwagon without switching to an iPhone. But three days later, Beeper Mini reported a massive outage, casting doubts on its future. It turns out that this was caused by Apple taking steps to prevent unauthorized access to iMessage. And while Beeper got Beeper Cloud — the bridge that powers the iMessage and Android integration — back up online, it might not survive for long as Apple is taking steps to protect its users.
