The most popular free messenger on Blackberry will be made available soon on other platforms! In the report by Yugatech who is covering the live event in the US, Abe Olandres said Blackberry chief Heins announced this at the Blackberry Live 2013. The free BlackBerry Messenger will be working on devices with Android 4.0, iOS 6 and later versions.
If you have friends who has BB across the world and you left them to try or even migrate to the iOS or Android, you will be able to connect with them again.
In the report, BBM for Android and iOS will be available in this part of the world around August 2013 this year.
Could this be a wise move for Blackberry? We really don’t know what is their strategy for this development. At one point, this could mean slow down on Blackberry sales, because you don’t have to buy their handsets to enjoy BBM.
