Show HN: Beeper Mini – iMessage client for Android
I think this might be launching at an opportune time. The EU is already trying to force them to open up the App Store and iMessage has a target on its back. A cease and desist about this won’t look great in the inevitable antitrust hearings…

Does iMessage have a target on its back? It doesn't have a dominant position here in messaging, if it has a position at all.

over 50% of US market (and a few other countries), for starters. Not EU's jurisdiction, but it is a major messaging service.

Yes, I know but I was specifically talking about the EU, since that's the only government legislation for open access.

bit of irony that this can fly because of legislation in a mostly irrelevant market
