We can't wait.
The web is a great place to have a debate with others concerning a variety of topics, and whether it's an Apple vs. Android, Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3, or even a Coke vs. Pepsi back and forth, there are two types of person within any argument - on both sides.

If you own an iPhone or an Android device, then the chances are high that you’re familiar with the extremely popular cross-platform messaging app, WhatsApp. The app has become insanely popular over the last couple of years due to the fact that it is a cross-platform messaging service that not only allows users to send text-based messages, but can also include photographs, videos and audio attachments that are then sent across the network to any device that has the app installed. Being able to offer a true cross-platform service that allows all different types of media to be sent and received without charge is definitely key to the success of the app.
