I really, really don't understand what their business plan was. At it's core it used an exploit to trick Apple into thinking the messages were legit, did they not think Apple was going to close the loophole?
If Apple wanted iMessage on android it would be on Android. The only people bringing iMessage to Android is Apple, and anyone who figures a way around that is going to get ban-hammered by Apple.
At some point they said that after beta it would be $9 a month. But that messaging seems to have disappeared.
