BlackBerry: BBM for Android, iOS is still coming, but who knows when

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 30 Sep 2013 11:52 User comments (5)

As the company continues to prove that it can do nothing right, BlackBerry has announced that it is still committed to releasing BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) for Android and iOS despite a failed launch a week ago.

The company had planned to launch the app last week, but it only made its way to the Australian iOS App Store before being pulled. A leaked Android .APK also broke the company's servers. Since then, the company has stayed mum on details of the app, leaving fans in the dark.

Today, BlackBerry gave a little update on the app:

Still 100% committed to bringing #BBM to Android and iPhone. Sign up at http://t.co/mr8J7pUDAT to know when #BBM4All
-- BBM (@BBM) September 30, 2013

There is no timetable for the launch.

@ mukhis :

There are at least 5 relatives of mine who use BBM as their main communication application. Unfortunately WhatsApp is available for only certain version of BB OS and Viber not all. Same goes for Skype. Having used both, BB Curve and Samsung Grand, I have to admit that BB applications for contacts and Planner/scheduler is far better than anything on Android !

	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
