Re: [App] WhatsApp for Ubuntu Phone (alpha)
I had a chat about this with Gustavo today, and based on that I think it's
clear that the design team need to provide a generic and scalable user
experience within "Telephony" for multiple services and accounts – be it
Skype, WhatsApp, Google Talk or something else. Luckily, that's always been
on the roadmap :)
Considering Ubuntu's cross-platform convergence, that'd also be a client
that would work across the board, on the phone, tablet and desktop.
However, it appears that WhatsApp does not provide an open API. I suspect
there are legal issues with that.
Regards,
Mika
