Blackberry Messenger coming to Android and i-phone platform excites many (BBM for Android download link embedded below post)

The latest news making the rounds currently and that have thrown whole lots to both Android and iphone users into frenzy is the coming of the Blackberry Messenger popularly known as BBM to both devices. 

The news started filtering the air since last week when rumour has it that the BBM is coming exclusively to Samsung Android users, and that they will be able to enjoy the apps for a period of 3 months.

But a confirmation just coming in this week from BBM Communication Director Victoria Berry, threw more light to the whole issue, she went ahead to say that the BBM will not only be made exclusive to Samsung Android phone users, but that it will be a cross platform apps for all Android and iphone device users.

Ever since that this news was broken, so many Android and i-phone users have sharpened their ears and remain alert, that out of excitement, many droiders have flooded the Google play store seeking to download the so much cherished BBM apps to their device. 

Some have even succeeded in downloading it, with the believe that they can start making use of it immediately but only for their excitement to be cut short a bit, owing to the fact that the app has not been officially made available for use on both devices. 

But even at that, there is still assurance that within the coming days, that both Android and iphone users will be able to start making use of the BBM app on their devices.

The question that is left in the mouths of many is that what will now be the fate of the Blackberry device and its manufacturers after letting out what they considered as the most treasured and unique apps available sole to the Blackberry device, and owing to the fact that those other platforms and devices are seen as major competitors to the Blackberry platform and device. 

And with the BBM, users always feel that they are using a superior device to another device users that is not Blackberry. So the fear of losing this device superiority is also been questioned by many, should Blackberry go ahead with their current plan.

Some have even argued that by doing so, that it will definitely lead to the end of Blackberry, that is to say that the device will no longer remain relevant in the phone market, and  that  it users will opt for other platforms. 

While others have long ago expressed their dissatisfaction with their Blackberry devices, attributing it to what they term Blackberry issues, especially when it comes to battery life. A critical observation into the phone market seems that Android is gradually leading the way.

Finally, one can easily draw the conclusion that if Blackberry finally let out BBM to their competitors in the phone industries, they will now be left with very little to compete for and the only thing down here that will still be letting people cling to their blackberry device will be the Blackberry data bundle plans available exclusively for blackberry users. 

But who knows if the Blackberry Company has a strategy that will make them stay relevant in the market for intending to that, or should we assume that the company is planning a sell out in the closest future, only time will tell.
