I never open that thread because I don't care about BB10, but this I do care about, and didn't know.

WOW, that's crazy! I guess whatsapp and the like made a huge dent in their market, they figure may as well sell the app.

People used to keep BB just for BBM.

Agreed. I'm sure the stock holders will be happy if they create this app before they go belly up or are bought out.

I'm not sure why you are convinced their days are over... but they aren't charging for the app, so how would this help them get business?
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

It will help them because if they get a big user base of people loyal to bbm from ios and android they can then either charge a fee, have mobile ads or sell it in the billion dollar range like whatsapp is currently worth.

Whatsapp must be regretting not accepting the billion dollar buyouts while they were offered.

Was that confirmed or just a rumor?

I heard T-Mo UK by mistake tweeted that this morning.

Hopefully the third party  BBM app will have all the capabilities of its native app. Screen Sharing, Video calling, Voicecall.

There was a leaked apk this week, but yoy couldn't signup for an acct, BB removed it right away, and said that its only for beta testers.
Rumor that it will be Sammy exclusive for a while

Why would you use it over WhatsApp?
(assuming video chat remains limited to wifi)
Love me or hate me. I still love you.
