In a message to Eric Migicovsky (CEO of Beeper, a 3rd party iMessage service), a 16 year old developer claimed that he reverse engineered Apple iMessage.
Astounded by the claim, the Beeper team looked into the claim & his prototype to find that it actually worked. They were able to register the Android device as if it's an iPhone and was able to send/receive messages as if nothing is amiss.
After months of work, Beeper is now releasing the Beeper Mini app which allows an Android device directly send/receive iMessage with Apple's servers without the use of relay servers. At launch, the app will cost US$2/month.
While something like this is a novelty outside of the US. For a market like the US while iMessage dominates, this can be a game changer (assuming it doesn't get legally shut down by Apple).
