We've heard that BlackBerry Messenger is headed for multiple platforms and devices, including the iPhone. Now, a MacRumours forum member says that Co-CE Jim Balsillie announced that RIM is planning to bring BBM and “other services” to iOS on April 26th. This is the first time we've heard a specific date.
"RIM had a Social Media conference today in Toronto, and my entire college business and marketing class was invited to the event. RIM’s co-ceo Jim Balsillie revealed that they plan to bring BBM and “other services” to iPhone on April 26 via the app store."
Is it true? RIM is very likely to bring BBM to the iPhone, but the April 26 date could just be rumor at this point. Stay tuned.
UPDATE: It looks like this story was a hoax. BGR reports that RIM issued a statement denying that BBM will be released to the iPhone on April 26.
