BlackBerry was slated to launch BBM for
Android and iOS last weekend. But as if the
Waterloo-based smartphone pioneer hasn't
faced enough challenges recently, its launch
was a massive flop.
"Last week, an unreleased, older version of
the BBM for Android app was posted on
numerous file sharing sites. This older
version resulted in volumes of data traffic
orders of magnitude higher than normal for
each active user and impacted the system in
abnormal ways," Andrew Bocking, the
executive vice president of BBM, explained
of the mishap on BlackBerry's blog. "The
version we were planning to release on
Saturday addressed these issues, however we
could not block users of the unreleased
version if we went ahead with the launch."
Despite this fail—which has yet to be resolved
—BlackBerry still decided to show off BBM
for Desktop during its BlackBerry Jam Asia
2013. In Hong Kong, Chris Smith, VP of
Application Platform at BlackBerry,
demonstrated on a Windows PC what BBM will
look like for the desktop.
The brief demo was not accompanied with
any sort of release date.
It's also been widely rumoured that a BBM
for Mac app is also in the works; again,
however, details remain scarce.
