supposed to be released on all Samsung sets in the future.

Who wants to bet this is based on xmpp + pubsub?

Grrrrrr, why can't they all just federate for crying out loud! Props to gtalk, which already does)

huge services using xmpp that don't federate:

facebook
whatsapp
imessage
chatON(maybe)
groupme(maybe)

It seems the standard has been decided on(xmpp) it is just each company is fearful of interoperating with others
