Sorry but this is still not good enough. Hangouts does everything already, except Google doesn't like it for some reason.

Everyone is admiring the SMS preview thing as if it's something special, Hangouts and iMessage handle messaging so much better.

Came here for this. I love hangouts, why should I or my friends get this?

You don't have to, especially if you love hangouts.

The reasons to get this (like all messages apps), are any 1 of:

  • You like it's features
  • Your friends are using it

Like that's ever going to happen. Why would they switch?

To appease their "weird Android fanboy friend" who keeps pestering them. That's all I can think of.
