Isn't it all about the blue bubbles being one of the bigger reasons. I wonder what impact apps like imessage not being tied to hardware would have.

This is why I like services like beeper bringing iMessage support over to android. I get to use the phone like, but also make my friends happy by not messing up the blue bubbles
Same. I'm using Beeper on my Pixel for iMessage. I use OneCalender to sync my Apple Calendar with my wife. No reason to use an iPhone. I prefer Android.
Ya Beeper is awesome. I use it for WhatsApp, because I need it for my landlord, but there's no chance in hell I'm installing WhatsApp on my phone.
Alas, they're backed up enough you can't really start using it at present
One of my friends just signed up 29 days ago and got in so they are definitely catching up. I was on the waitlist for a year and a half
For anyone else wondering, they're backed up meaning there's a wait before you can start using it. I just signed up and it ended with a message that basically says "you're in line!"
IMessage on android will be amazing, I'm excited to try it out.
That is exactly what I meant :)
