Blackberry Says, "Hold your excitement for BBM for Android."

Android lovers were expecting for the release of BBM for Android OS last September 21, 2013 – that was the official launching date that Blackberry had announced.

No one was expecting that iOS users would be the first who would enjoy the Messaging Platform since it was already announced that BBM for Android would be launched a day earlier that of Android.

Actually, BB had already decided to launched it to Playstore on the promised date but was forced not to because of the fake ones.

Blackberry asked Google Playstore to remove all the Fake BBM’s before they launch the official one.Blackberry was very apologetic to that.

We are expecting that the official BBM will be launched in this week so keep updated.

Will BBM Make It to Top on Android and IOS Platforms?

The public is already informed of the release date of BBM for Android and IOS - that Android users will have the Black Berry Messenger on September 21, 2013 (tomorrow) and that for IOS will be delayed a day longer. Will the Blackberry really be successful on this idea?

If there are two mobile OS battling to top, those must be Androin and iOS. Yes! BB OS is left behind, despite of the release of new BB10.

As Android and iOS eat the market, many messaging platforms were developed. Platforms that we can say, far better than BBM. These are some that are available in Playstore and Appstore: WeChat, Viber, Line, WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, etc.

But why Blackberry pursues of having their very own platform shared to other OS. Are they confident about this? Will the BBM on Android and iOS have different feature/s other than the features on its mother handsets and better than nowadays's famous messaging platforms? We will update you the soonest possible time about this questions after it was launched.

Blackberyy Messenger for Android and IOS: Be the first to know when the download will be available

Blackberry Messenger, known as BBM, is the very own Messaging Platform of Blackberry. It has been quite famous since BB has started invading corporate market. Although it was primarily made for enterprise use, Blackberry did not miss to capture the public because of BBM.

But as they say, “The one on top will not remain on top,” BBM started to face challenge when android phones started to penetrate the market. Android opened its OS for other Messaging Platform developers – applications that offer free txt messaging, free call and other fun stuffs.

Blackberry obviously became reactive – that they did not foresee that this may happen. *opinion of Author*

After long wait, Blackberry finally came to realization. The publics are already informed that it will be launching BBM for Android and IOS.

Next Android Version: It's Kitkat 4.4 not Key Lime Pie 4.3/5.0

Admit it! You also crave for Key Lime Pie. I am sorry you wont get it anymore.

No, I am not pertaining to the food. What I am emphasizing here is the rumored upcoming version of Android.

Everybody was already expecting of KLP version 5.0 of Android. Most of the techblogs seemed to be certain and sure about their announcement of the new name of the Open-source Google OS. Almost all of them have definite date of its release. But who could have thought that after all the public's expectations and their long wait, there will be a sudden change of Android new version's name - that is Kitkat. Yes! The chocolate brand!

There were also rumors about 'number' of the new version. Most bloggers announced that it would be Version 4.3 and some of them said that it would probably be 5.0. Again, the public wasn't right.

Google has just announced that the Kitkat Android OS will have the version number of 4.4. The release hopefully would be in this month of September 2013. There is no certain key features announced by Google yet.
