BBM Akan Hadir Di IOS dan Android Musim Panas Ini

Pagi ini dapet link tentang berita besar BlackBerry Messenger akan hadir di ios Dan Android musim panas ini. Saya sangat berharap ini memang benar dan berjalan selakyak nya BBM di OS Blackberry.
Tapi memang ini benar karena langsung di tulis oleh blog official nha Blackberry,

 berikut yang disampaikan di Blog Blackberry.

If you’re already a fan of BlackBerry Messenger (BBM),
we’ve got some exciting news designed to make it easier
for you to connect with your entire mobile social network.
BlackBerry plans to make BBM, our wildly popular mobile
messaging service, available for the first time to iOS® and
Android™ users this summer, 

(subject to approval by Google Play and the Apple App Store, as applicable). 

This means that, once available, you can welcome your friends
and family using these other mobile platforms to connect
over BBM and share in the Team BlackBerry love.
As we’ve chronicled on our Inside BlackBerry blog for some
time now, BBM set the standard for mobile instant
messaging with fast and reliable service and an added layer
of engagement with delivered and read statuses. 

You’ve shared with us your stories about how BBM has kept you
connected when it mattered most to you. Upon release of
the multi-platform BBM service, you can broaden that
real-time connection to friends and colleagues on other
supported mobile platforms.

In the first version of multi-platform BBM, iOS and
Android users are expected to be able to experience the

following BBM features:
The immediacy of BBM chats
Multi-person chats
Voice note sharing
BlackBerry Groups, where BBM users are able to
set up groups of up to 30 people and share
calendar, photos, files and more

The team here at BlackBerry has definitely been working
hard to bring the much-adored BBM experience to a wider
group of mobile users. In a recent press release at
BlackBerry Live 2013, Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice
President, Software Product Management and Ecosystem,
at BlackBerry had this to say:

“For BlackBerry, messaging and collaboration are
inseparable from the mobile experience, and the time is
definitely right for BBM to become a multi-platform mobile
service. BBM has always been one of the most engaging
services for BlackBerry customers, enabling them to easily
connect while maintaining a valued level of personal
privacy. We’re excited to offer iOS and Android users the
possibility to join the BBM community.”

BBM Quick Facts:
More than 60 million monthly active users
More than 51 million daily active users who are
connecting with friends or colleagues an average
of one and a half hours every day.

BBM users send and receive more than 10 billion
messages each day, nearly twice as many messages
per user per day as compared to other mobile messaging apps

Almost half of BBM messages are read within 20
seconds of being received; indicating how truly
engaged BBM customers are

Today, BlackBerry also announced BBM Channels, a new
social engagement platform within BBM that will allow
customers to connect with the businesses, brands,
celebrities and groups they are passionate about.
BlackBerry plans to add support for BBM Channels as well
as voice and video chatting for iOS and Android later this
year, subject to approval by the Apple App Store and
Google Play.

 If approved by Apple and Google, the BBM app
will be available as a free download in the Apple® App
StoreSM and Google Play store. Additional details about
system requirements and availability will be announced
closer to the launch.

That’s some pretty big news, indeed. Be sure to share your
thoughts with us in the comments below, who will be the
first person from your extended network that you
introduce to BBM?
