I personally think this is a wrong move from Blackberry Limited. Bbm is their most cherished possession, making it a cross platform app will see their products sale go down the drain.
We are aware of the numerous issues with the blackberry devices. From their poor battery life (where the first thing you offer a guest on a visit to your house is a blackberry charge, lol) to its hanging problems, sub-standard keypads and a whole lot more.
Blackberry messenger (bbm) is one of the major reasons why people still stick to the phones. Releasing the application (bbm) on android, ios and probably windows mobile will leave phone users with no choice than to crab a more stable/reliable mobile device. Except Blackberry Limited has a cat in the bag that we don’t know about.
Here is an extract from ITPRO’s website on the release of the app:

The truth is that even if BlackBerry decides not to make the bbm cross platform they would still lose market share cos bbm alone cannot stop people from leaving the BlackBerry device. So why not make everyone happy by making it cross platform?

And people might just becos of that have sympathy on them. True talk.
