[QUOTE="§am, post: 149648, member: 9187"] RIM (Blackberry) have announced that their popular messaging service, BBM, (well popular if you own a BB device) is to go cross platform later this summer to Android & iOS devices, but not to Windows devices. [url=http://press.blackberry.com/press/2013/bbm-for-ios-and-android-to-launch-this-summer-.html]BBM for iOS and Android to Launch This Summer -[/url] So is this a good thing? Many devote BB fans have been calling for this for years, many remaining loyal to BB devices just so they can carry on using the BBM service. However, is it too little too late? With HUGELY popular services like the WhatsApp service essentially providing BBM type services cross platform for years now, they have a huge catch up game to play. Of course there is also a flip side to this... Loyal BBM fans who have wanted to jump ship for years could now have the perfect opportunity to do so!!! Have RIM/BB shot themselves in the foot? Is this a last ditch attempt to try and clinch back some of the market share they have lost over the last few years, or as I said earlier, too little too late?? [/QUOTE]
