Petition: WhatsApp for N9

UPDATE: Already over 10'000 signatures reached!

WhatsApp is the most demanded N9 application on the wish list and for many people an essential way of communication. The N9 would be a big winner with this application and would become very appealing to new users.

Unfortunately the chances are very small that WhatsApp makes it to the N9 since their official answer is, that they have no plans to develop it - and Nokia is not supporting them in any way.
Therefore Constantinos Orphanides created a petition a while ago to collect all the voices which are demanding this application.

People who are interested in this application or just want to support the petition can us this link:

That's how the N9 home-screen should look like

An alternative to WhatsApp is ebuddy XMS. This still unfinished version (beta) works very well, offers a nice user interface and has an amazing notification system. Unfortunately it's not as famous (yet?) as WhatsApp, although it's available on more platforms. But it's still in its infancy and everyone should give that new competitor a try.
