Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps... like Apple’s own iMessage.

I've lost track of all the messaging apps they had:

  • Hangouts
  • Chat
  • Gmail Chat
  • Google+
  • Voice

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.
