BlackBerry Messenger Run on Android, Next iOS

Soon, Not too long to wait, the Android and iOS users will taste the BlackBerry Messenger. On the news leaked, now, BBM makes first appearance on Android and you can also see the screenshot. The first signs of such an app have just surfaced, showing the standard BlackBerry Messenger profile page, but not much else. The app icon doesn’t look great right now, but run BBM for Android is still in testing (albeit late stages, according to the source). Native Android notifications are reportedly working well, but the full extent of BBM features aren’t quite known for sure. The screenshots show the BBM icon on an Android menu screen and a contact profile page from the beta version of the app.The icon looks a little squat to us, but it's not a final version of the software so it's possible that this is just a placeholder for now.

The contact profile page is not exactly a looker, but it offers all the details you'd expect - messaging and contact book icons at the bottom of the page and the contact's name, picture, PIN and availability status shown.

While this is still limited news, at least the news ensure you can have BlackBerry Messenger runs on Android device, phone or tablet. It means, you can download BBM app and install it into your Samsung Galaxy S/S2, LG Optimus 2X, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, HTC Flyer, Toshiba Thrive and others. Projects that leverage BlackBerry Messenger (like BBM Music) might not be particularly attractive when they’re limited to RIM smartphones, but if that market were suddenly opened up to a wider range of phones, devs may find a reason to make their apps BBM-connected with the available tools. We may end up seeing BlackBerry Messenger for Android before 2012 hits, which means a preview may be in order at BlackBerry DevCon in a few short weeks. So, what do you think about the news?
Well, see the future whether iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS) also have BlackBerry Messenger app inside the device.
