What planet you from, mate? For companies like Whatsapp Inc there are 4 platforms worthy of support: iOS, Android, WP, Blackberry (and Symbian in case of Whatsapp).

They will not bother for maemo with a user base of .............. (fill your number here).

Yeah, but they should allow the unofficial apps for the unsupported platforms. I understand unofficial apps on Android might be persecuted... But on Maemo? It's insane!

Well, I was unbanned ;)

They claim that I violated their terms of use... Don't know which point ;)
And they say that if they find me breaching the rules I'll be banned without a possibility of appeal.

What should I do so as not to get caught? :D

/edit: besides, I guess that while maintaining support for Whatsapp, we should find a sane alternative to Whatsapp. Some devs of unofficial apps have gotten cease and desist letters from WA, so WA on Maemo might die any day. And most people don't care if they're using WA, Telegram or whatever. As long as they can communicate

Just received an ominous message from Whatsapp: WhatsappO with [vcard] ... cant access the vcard. This could be ominous or it could be linked to renewal falling due in Sept. Any ideas or suggestions on how to respond ...?

Most people do care. Their criteria is: is it popular? Is everyone else using it? If so, they use it too.
If people just wanted to communicate, we would all be using Jabber/XMPP very likely :)
Unfortunately, all the popular ones are also the closed ones, generally. If 'open,' a few years later they get closed.
