All those are true, but still iMessage is an important reason for many to pay more for an iPhone. So still it's pretty hard to create an attractive alternative, wouldn't you say ?

I've heard that WhatsApp isn't used as much in America. I live in Europe and do not believe I have any friends who use iMessage, or if they do, they are all on WhatsApp as well, which would seem to prove Moxie's point.

But then again in Europe iPhone market share is much lower.
