Does whatsapp work on the Pandora?

Through pidgin or something? 

Edit: Because I'm definately selling my phone if that's the case.

Unfortunately not, as the service is bound to a mobilephone number.


Don't know if it would if you have a 3g modem.


It would only work with the whatsapp app in android though.

Yeah I checked a guide on the net and they seem to say Whatsapp works via bluestack (Android emulator on PC) and just requires you putting in your number when start whatsapp. 

I will test and report back tonight.

there's that python library for whatsapp: https://github.com/hackedd/python-whatsapp ....

and also https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/ ... where you can find a description about how to get your whats app id to sign in.

Hello,

i was interested in having WhatsApp on my PC too since my Smartfone just died.

I found a CLI-client for WhatsApp which makes it really easy to get a password for your WhatsApp Account and there is a also a pretty neat Pidgin plugin. I've tested both on my notebook and can say it works great for text messaging.

• Pidgin Wiki [DE]
  
• Yowsup CLI (Python) [requires Yowsup Library]
• OpenWhatsApp (have not tested this but it's from the same developer it seems)
• whatsapp.so (nightly builds)

If somebody is interested in porting yowsup/whatsapp.so to the pandora please tell us here
