Google Hangout for Windows Phone.

Hello Microsoft,

Recently I wrote to Google to provide Hangout app for Windows Phone. In reply they said that they are willing to provide Google Apps if device manufacturer are ready to collaborate with them in development process. Following text is copy of two paragraphs of their reply.

Unfortunately, when developing an app for a third party device we need the collaboration of the manufacturer.

Like in the case of Mac we worked side by side, also with Ubuntu and other Debian based Linux distributions.

Together we achieved the apps their users enjoy now, as well once the app is developed it needs to follow

the manufacturer's store approval like any other app developed for them. As you can see by visiting

https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1216376?hl=en.

In the case of Microsoft we are more than willing to develop the app, we would love to support that market

share which is vast increase potential customers to use their mobile devices.

With Microsoft we've achieved the use of hangouts through their Desktop environments so far. But, we need

you as their mobile customer to present the need of the use of Google Apps in their mobile phone's so they

can support the development of mobile apps on their devices. We want to serve you in whatever device you

choose to have, but this can only be accomplished through the device users to convince the device

manufacturer to collaborate to develop an app from us.

I would love to see Google apps on my windows phones. Could you please communicate with Google, to bring Hangout and other apps to Windows Phone.

    You can't contact Microsoft, they don't program apps for other companies.  You need to contact the company that makes it (so Google) and ask them to make it.

    Google controls access to their services. No emulator apps for their services.

    Talk to Google

    One company makes one, Bluestacks.  It's built on Android Open Source Project, which means it's "Android without Google", and can't use Google services.
