BlackBerry’s
world-famous BBM application is now finally available for Apple’s iPhone and
Android devices.
BlackBerry
initially halted its initial BBM rollout after an influx of Android devices
using a leaked version of the app caused issues with BlackBerry’s BBM servers.
Curiously, however, the rollout didn’t continue as planned even after the leaked
app was blocked, and BBM is instead rolling out to Android and iPhones on a
slower schedule than BlackBerry had initial announced.
Customers must first sign up to be added to a
queue, and will then receive an email saying they’re good to go.
BlackBerry
on Monday announced new launch details for its soon-to-be cross-platform
messaging service for the iPhone and Android. Basically, users will be able to
download the apps starting Monday but they won’t be able to use the service
right away. Instead, users enter a queue and will be able to begin using the
app once BlackBerry adds them to the service.

BlackBerry Messenger
pioneered a new type of mobile messaging service that countless other companies
have copied over the years. Unfortunately for BlackBerry, several of those
copycats grew to become cross-platform messaging behemoths that may have doomed
the company’s new BBM app for Android and the iPhone before it even got
off the ground.
