I'll certainly use it but babel or hangouts will have some advantage due to it desktop capabilities i think. But its about time bbm came out crossplatform. I can finally throw my work bb in the bushes.

GTalk/Hangout is gonna take a burrito induced dump on this if the reports are to be believed.




Explain to me this new messaging app that google has coming out? Is it something that I have to be logged in to and have running to receive messages? Is it going to kill my battery?


Tell me everything you know.

BlackBerry Messenger app arriving on Android and iOS this weekend

BlackBerry's effort to extend its messaging service beyond its own failed hardware has finally come to fruition. After some awkward false starts, plus a detailed leak, BlackBerry Messenger apps for iOS and Android will soon be available for download at the respective app stores, allowing members of those more popular ecosystems to do... well, chat-related things that they could largely do already, except now through BlackBerry's BBM servers. The company has confirmed that the Android BBM app will launch at 7AM ET on Saturday, while its iOS equivalent will be available beginning at 12:01AM local time (in each market) on Sunday.
