My wish: WhisperSystems finally gets their act together and releases the TextSecure for iOS that they've been talking about for two years[1]. I still can't send a message from my Android phone to an iOS user. TextSecure is one of the best secure messengers out there[2], but until iOS support is out it's mostly proof of concept to me.

The last HN Who's Hiring? had an iOS dev job posted by Moxie [1], so I guess it's safe to assume they're working on it.

They did release an iOS version -- it's called Signal [1]. Unfortunately, it's not gaining that much attention in the mainstream.

PS: Currently, it's only cross-compatible with Android's Red Phone but TextSecure is probably on the roadmap.
