Whatsapp uses jabber protocol modified to avoid security. Facebook uses plain jabber. So they use similar battery power. Google-talk uses a modified jabber for reducing net use and then improving battery life. Microsoft MSN uses more battery. Don't know about Yahoo MSN. Skype is wich more battery use.
Ahh, I assumed skype and facebook as well as all traditional IM didnt use push messaging.

My post is still valid in the fact that its a big step for the N9 as is ANY programming development.. WhatsApp no matter what the haters want, is a major app in terms of the amount of people using it. So having an app for it on the N9 equals the playing field once more and means less burn for those smartphone end users who actually bought an N9 instead of an iPhone or Droid
