Blackberry Messenger will be offered for Android and iOS for free

Blackberry Messenger for Android and iOS

Blackberry has just announced a plan to offer their popular IM platform BlackBerry Messenger to Android and iOS for free download.

This announcement was made this morning on Blackberry Live 2013 event at Orlando, Florida, by the company CEO. This transition is expected to become effective this summer, according to Blackberry.

This is surely a strategy for retaining old BBM users who have switched platform, and also gain new followers who are using other IM programs such as Whatsapp, Viber, Skype, etc.
You can clearly see with this movement that Blackberry is really willing to regain a market in which they were absolute leaders in the past.

Personally, i am very excited about this announcement, and as a former Blackberry user feel nostalgic to be able to use that service on my Android.
Some days ago the Blackberry Z10 release, and now, this important transition of a service that was jealously Blackberry exclusive, are indications that the company will surprise us soon with more new things never seen before... So expect more.
