Moving on to the next big announcement

Now, this is definitely one huge announcement. Blackberry Messenger, one of the most successful mobile messengers ever is now going to step into the top two mobile operating systems, Android and iOS. BBM has 60 Million active monthly users. 

We all know that BBM is a paid service but if Blackberry had decided to roll out BBM on Android and iOS as a paid service, they would have suffered badly from the competition of WhatsApp. But still, it will be interesting to see that how do they handle their own against the competitors. BBM will be available on Android and iOS in the next few months.

So, this is another good announcement from Blackberry.
