Its awesome, I can save my phone battery by switching it off and leaving only whatsapp on! boom!
No its not. Your phone needs to stay on the whole time.
Thought of signing in once with a smart phone and using it forever and continue using my dumb phone..
I don't use whatsapp with a huge number of people, but some of them I talk to daily on it. When we're both behind a computer (work hours, sometimes outside them) we'll often move to Skype to be able to type quicker. Skype's pretty horrible on phones (for me and most people I know), so usually prefer whatsapp when not using PCs/laptops.
Sure it's not a huge change, but just being able to type quickly when sat at my laptop, and not needing to keep grabbing my phone to see what's been said, is a great change for me. One that I was complaining about just the other day without realising this was around the corner.
In case anyone's interested, here's what it looks like for me in Chrome (nothing unexpected really): http://i.imgur.com/90C0v9V.png
(Added bonus in the required app upgrade for WP8: message delivery status icons now shown in list of conversation, rather than just once you are inside a conversation - I know this feature was on at least one platform months ago, maybe all others, and it's [very slightly] annoyed me since I moved to Windows)
Which version of Android app do you use? 2.11.498 seems don't work for me. There isn't a WhatsappWeb option.
How did you even get 2.11.498 (which seems to be newer than mine but still not latest)? I'm trying to download and all I get is 2.11.491.
On WhatsApp site there's still your version.
Heck of a roll-out, guys. - only works on one browser - requires interop with the mobile app - supporting mobile app version on Android only - supporting mobile app version not universally available on Android, presumably because of Google Play registry population or something.
I thought that Whatsapp didn't store (or read) messages, and that was why it was so secure / awesome? So how can they do this?
Note that AFAIR the reason wasn't so that it was more secure, but to remind users that Snapchat is about the instant and so that users wouldn't expect it to store all of their lives, only the right now.
A cheap and easy way to keep your storage needs low, if you ask me.
Does not work for iOS yet? Edit: "At this time, WhatsApp Web is available only for Android, Windows Phone, Nokia S60, BlackBerry and BB10 smartphones." https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/web/28080003

Assumption: WhatsApp for iOS is in the 5 business day App Store approval queue.
And even if they could, I'd doubt that they'd make Facebook wait 5 days for their app to be aproved.
