Hello everyone,

We all know how important Instant Messaging (IM) apps are: the lack of IM
apps was probably one of the main handicaps for bada.
But Tizen is essentially a HTML5 platform and HTML5 is perfect for IM apps
so the question is: why don't we have a wide choice of IM apps on Tizen ?
Let's have a look at some popular apps from a pure JavaScript, multi-device
perspective.

1) Telegram:
Telegram is open source and they have a web app (and even an official
Firefox OS version): a perfect match for Tizen ?

Problem: a HTML5 service application is not available on Tizen Mobile:

2) Facebook Messenger:
FB Messenger, like most ambitious IM apps, is a webRTC app.
Problem: webRTC is not available on Tizen and even on Crosswalk it's
Android-only:

3) WhatsApp:
WhatsApp has added voice to its platform with a SIP library.
These are the two main JavaScript SIP libraries, let's hope they will be
fully Tizen compatible:
JsSIP: http://jssip.net/
SIP.js: http://sipjs.com/

Kind regards,
Olivier
