BlackBerry Messenger To be Charged For Use In Android:Will You Pay For Subscription Fee?

If you have a lot of buddies who use BlackBerry then there is good news & bad news.The Good news is that Blackberry Messenger might be coming to the Android & Apple Platform with a possibility of the announcement to be made @ BlackBerry's event to be held between October 18-20th.The bad news is you might have to pay a monthly subscription fees to access the BBM App.This news was probably leaked by a Research In Motion(RIM) Employee & he claims that when released Users might have to pay a monthly subscription of $4 in U.S,where it might be as high as $8 in U.K.Doesn't it sound weird that when there are so many Apps available which enables all these features for free BBM will be forcing people to pay an annual subscription of $50.So will you go for it?

BlackBerry Messenger App Confirmed On iOS and Android

The popular Blackberry App has been confirmed to appear on Google's Android & Apple's IOs X platform.For those of you who have a lot of friends on BlackBerry then this might be the best news you were waiting for.Although the news has been flying all over the internet since,March there were no confirmation from RIM what so ever.Also there was no time frame mentioned but its rumored to happen within this year.Also its believed that Android will be the one to get the BBM App as its easier to port it to Android as its an open OS rather than Apple's IOs X which might be delayed.

                                               The biggest catch here is that irrespective of the platform & if you have the BBM App then you can not only talk with one another,but share pics/Videos & many more features.This might be Research In Motion's new strategy to expand the overall band and also a way to attract a few users who might get seduced by the BBM App & will decide to jump for the BlackBerry phone.With More & more leaked images appearing in the internet on the Android Platform,we can expect a release @ probably an expedited rate.The image above displays a BBM on the Android mob & by the looks,it might just be a primitive version of the BBM.According to the reports,BlackBerry messenger for Android might be rolled out @ BlackBerry's event in San Fransisco between Oct 18-20.All eyes on them then.
