Google pushes ahead with RCS messaging app to run on Android phones
Summary
Last fall, Google committed to the RCS carrier standard for support of mobile messaging, including group chats, high resolution photos and more. In addition, a user wouldnt have to find and sign up for separate accounts for different services, thereby reducing the fragmentation that has irked some Android customers. JR Raphael, author of Computerworlds Android Power blog, described himself as a heavy user of Hangouts for messaging with other people. The Jibe acquisition and RCS are Googles attempts "to reduce Apples advantage with iMessage," said Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy.
