Taking BlackBerry Messenger cross-platform will make a lot of Android users happy. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long to see it.
BlackBerry Messenger, the one killer feature that keeps a lot of folks from ever leaving the house without their BlackBerry, should be available for Android in September according to BlackBerry India managing director Sunil Lalvani. We’ve known that the messaging service was headed to Android since CEO Thorsten Heins announced as much last May, but at today’s BlackBerry Q5 launch event in India we’re getting a little more information.
The service is coming to Android this summer. But summer as per North America, where it remains till September.
When asked for clarification that this means a September launch, Lalvani replied that yes, that is correct.
We know plenty of folks will be happy to see BBM for Android, and we hope the programmers at BlackBerry do a great job and give us an app we will want to use. Hopefully, we’ll know more in a month or so.
