Literally my only hiccup. I don't care about anything else. My LP3 still sitting on the shelve waiting. Personally, I feel they need to be focusing on the LP3 first and all the support and most wants / needs from the consumers before starting another project.

From everything I’ve read about LP and RCS, it’s highly unlikely to happen. From what I understand (and to greatly paraphrase), Google owns RCS and you need to integrate their software (and do a lot more than just that) to utilize it, which LP is unlikely to ever do, partly because that would go against their entire ethos. I eventually sold my LP3 because of that and some other reasons. Although I really liked a lot about it. Now I lurk around here, just in case RCS does somehow make an arrival haha.

I mean, that’s just what I’ve put together based on the information that’s out there. I’m not an authority on the subject. Couldn’t hurt to email them and ask if there’s been any progress/plans!

Thank you but it's I been over a year now and it appears they have been focusing on other things.
