Is it really that hard to reverse engineer that?
However, Ithink it's worth the efforts since this would also allow to log into whatsapp from any desktop computer as well, which would indeed be pretty cool...

Would you not require a fake IMEI?? That could be problematic unless you use one from an old phone :)

I agree with most of the users here,whatsapp is not really that important,i could care less if gets made or not,there are so many better alternatives.
Most important thing: If whatsapp development team did not bother to make an app for us the means they give a ***** about theyr users. It's not just about us meego users keeping in touch with android,ios,symbian users,it's about all getting in touch which for me this a total disrespect for all users not just us meego. That what means to be cross platform,but aparently it is not! I for one I can really live without this app,i can use gtalk and send a picture or video throught e-mail if needed.
Though if taglal takes it's time to make it,then my respect for it's work.

If only gtalk worked all the time. Connection will still timeout and would get 'network error' or it would be in a constant trying to connect loop. it's frustrating

please do inform me about some... cuz i cant find another app that allows me to have group chats, shareing location or files within those group chats, ALL IN ONE interface, thats available on android, symbian, iOS, so i can use it with ALL people that i got in my phonebook... its sure not pleasent to ask 6-7 people that i have in that group to have other apps active, just because im not able to do those stuff with in one...

so far i was only able to make group chat using skype, IF starting a group on my PC app...

i didnt mean the offline message, i want to be notified once the skype message is received, and i dont want to run skype im all the time in the background, because doing so will drain battery.

Do you even have an N9?
Skype is integrated in to the accounts system, comes with the phone, is always on with push messaging (so doesn't drain battery much). And yes, when a push message is received, it notifies you just like a normal SMS (in fact I believe it's the same app).
