cracking iMessage

Background
2 iphones in 1 months later, and fun times with android on nexus 7 makes me want to switch to an android phone, i however recently taught my parents how to use iMessage, and no MMS included in my phone plan, so i generally send media via iMessage.   i want to be able to continue using it while an open alternative takes over.


Research

  1. What has been done? (1)
    • so far i've found a bit of talk about it.
    • Widely popular is SMS messaging.
  2. Find specs for the protocol (2)
  3. Android development vs Web app.
