BBM Landing Page Hints At Imminent Android And iPhone Launch

Recent leaks have suggested that Android and iPhone users will be able to use BlackBerry Messenger very soon, and a brief appearance of the app’s landing page further confirms its imminent arrival. But before the service officially launches, the company has set up a landing page to help familiarize Android and iPhone users with what BBM has to offer. The initial launch will likely include messaging only, with BBM Voice and video coming at a later date, likely later in the fall or early winter.

The landing page isn’t accessible anymore and instead redirects to a sign-up page for being notified about BBM’s official launch, but in the brief time it was up, it had a lot of placeholder graphics, along with not-working links to download the Android and iPhone apps.

Despite struggling to really gain any substantial market share this year, the company’s messaging platform is still regarded as one of the best, even with services such as WhatsApp on the market.

The company is also considering making BBM a separate company BBM Inc. Some executives already moved to the new subsidiary and are working on feature beyond basic messaging that will be introduced in BBM.

We know BBM is a solid service; what we don’t know is whether folks on Android and iOS even care to use it. Apple users already have access to iMessage, while Android users have a handful of messaging clients as well, including Hangouts. Even if you are excited to use BBM, you still have to convince your friends to hop on board and ditch what they’re currently using. Not an easy task, but we’ll find out soon just how interested people are.
