For #1, Multi device support already exists. I can put my phone on airplane mode and still send and receive messages just fine on my laptop

That's cool. When I tried it last it required my phone to be on just like WhatsApp. I'll check it out again.

I still hope they use some of this cash to make a real iPad and Desktop app, though. I'd really love to use the service but those are deal breakers for me.

Signal Desktop has never worked that way.

After the initial linking process, Signal Desktop has always functioned independently of your phone being on.

I must be misremembering it. I'd edit my comment but it's timed out.
