Comment on Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage

I remember Steve Jobs stating on stage that the protocol will be opened up when iMessage was revealed. Apparently this statement surprised the developers of it, because they didn’t know anything about that (based on some rumors).
Then that statement was silently ignored.

It was FaceTime, not iMessage. The reason the developers were surprised was that they didn’t own the tech, and Apple lost a patent lawsuit about it and almost had to remove FaceTime entirely. www.bbc.com/news/technology-20236114 fiercewireless.com/…/apple-s-facetime-open-standa…
