BlackBerry Is Bringing BBM To iOS And Android This Summer
Today, at the BlackBerry Live Keynote, the company announced that it will be launching BBM on iOS and Android this Summer. This is a big move for the company that has found itself increasingly trapped in a prison of its own making. Now, BlackBerry will make one of its best and more innovative services available across many platforms.
Watch BlackBerry Rock Out In Yet Another Staggeringly Awkward Music Video
BlackBerry 10 is here at last, so, of course, there’s another BlackBerry-tastic music video from VP of Developer Relations Alec Saunders. Now that BlackBerry’s actually delivered on those promises from the first song, you can’t fault ‘em for wanting to take a victory lap, even if it’s really hard to watch.
BlackBerry 10: Which Apps Will (And Won’t) Be There
Earlier this week it was reported that video streaming service Netflix has no plans to develop a BlackBerry 10 app. While that specific nugget of news wasn’t surprising, we began to wonder what other popular apps may or may not be coming to BB10.

So, you’ve read about the new BlackBerrys in exhaustive detail. One big questions remains though: are any of you actually going to buy one?
BlackBerry’s Best Trick: Nailing Work-Life Balance
Today BlackBerry demoed what it’s calling BlackBerry Balance, a clever way of separating one’s personal and work lives in one device. You don’t see it as much these days but carrying two phones — one for business, one for pleasure — was commonplace not too long ago. I remember having a BlackBerry 6200 alongside my HipTop/Sidekick 2; and I’m sure a lot of you remember those days as well.
Here’s BBM Doing Everything You Wish iMessage Could
At first blush there’s a lot to like about BB10, BlackBerry (née RIM)’s last great hope at redemption. But the first thing you might love is the revamped BBM. It’s crazy slick, and your iPhone is jealous.
