The Blackberry unique feature, BBM, which allows users to communicate between one another for free on a monthly or weekly plan, is no longer limited to blackberry devices.
Samsung Nigeria in an earlier report on twitter confirmed that BlackBerry’s popular BBM messaging platform will be coming to Android and iOS quite soon.
Although it won’t be a three-month exclusive to Samsung as was initially speculated, BBM could hit Google Play and the iOS App Store as early as this Friday.
BBM Communications Director Victoria Berry had this to say on the impending launch:
“The excitement around the upcoming BBM launch on iPhone and Android devices seems to know no bounds. Although I’m a big fan of this passion, I want to clarify that no one will have an exclusive on offering BBM. We’ll be bringing the app to Android and iPhone users across the globe soon.”
Suffice it to say that with the incoporation of other mobile phones into BBM, Blackberry may become more competitive.
