Working great for me.

And from what I've looked through so far of the pypush code it seems pretty legit.

IMessage being only for iPhones is officially over.

This isn't something Apple can just block or patch without also affecting every iPhone that doesn't download the patch update beforehand. Any device that isn't patched in advance will also lose access to iMessage.

It's actually quite impressive how it is done and it's truly innovative. It's very much a significant step forward compared to the implementations we have seen before.
