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 ? https://github.com/zhukov/webogram Problem: a HTML5 service application is not available on Tizen Mobile: https://developer.tizen.org/documentation/guides/web-application/tizen-features/service-application 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: https://crosswalk-project.org/documentation/apis/web_apis.html 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
