instant messaging application BlackBerry , BlackBerry Messenger , landed for the first time on smart phones with Android operating system and iOS operating system . After this arrival is also expected that the application was available in the Windows Phone operating system . But, according to David Proulx said , director of business development BlackBerry – the application of BBM ( BlackBerry Messenger ) will not come to this latest operating system since the company has concluded that Windows Phone does not have sufficient market acceptance to be taken into account in development plans BBM .
is the less interesting that a company that is going through its worst financial times decide to launch this message tries to show the lack of demand for Windows Phone between users. And even more curious is that late last year know that Windows Phone covers ten percent of the market share of mobile telephony in Europe, while BlackBerry was one of the few companies that experienced a decline in its market share for the year 2012.
BlackBerry Messenger is an application that somehow intended as an alternative to classical and popular applications WhatsApp or Line . One of the most striking aspects of the chat application BlackBerry is the ability to exchange messages with other users simply facilitating identification code ( BB PIN or BlackBerry ID ), ie, with this application is not necessary to disclose the telephone number to talk with other people. Moreover, the instant messaging application does not include any significant development that could be a real competition for the most popular alternatives mentioned previously.
version BlackBerry Messenger that is currently available for Android e iOS has a very similar design to that can be found in the phone application BlackBerry 10 , a phone that features a touch screen on the physical keyboard to which we are accustomed to this company disappears. It is a simple adaptation that includes the peculiarity of being able to add and chat with people who have a phone with a different operating system than ours.
Accordingown the company said at the launch of this application, in the first eight hours of life BBM Android and iOS were performed over five million downloads of the application. A striking, true, but it is an outlier of over 400 million active users at the disposal WhatsApp figure.
In short, for now users Windows Phone will have to wait until your operating system is popular enough to BlackBerry decide put to work to develop an adaptation of its instant messaging application.
