Imagine this scenario. You're having a bad day and because you're pissed off, you send a nasty text message to your boss. But no sooner have you sent your message on its way, then you find out that your boss has given you a raise. Uh oh! What can you do? If you were using an average, ordinary messaging app, your best bet is to look for a new job.
When Blackberry announced that it was bringing an Android-based device to market, it promised that it could do so without compromising its own reputation for security. Yesterday, the company shared some of the changes it made to Google’s Android OS, and how those changes impact the upcoming Blackberry Priv.
BlackBerry has added a subscription plan in its attempt to make BBM more revenue-inclined. The Canadian Company has stripped-off timed images, time messages and ability to retract messages on its new BBM version for standard users.
In as much as I like this feature, there's really nothing that will make me opt for a subscription. Not now, not in a million years.
BlackBerry might be struggling to regain its footing in the mobile market right now, but it still has a few strengths that outshine some rivals in key areas. And according to BlackBerry, one of those strengths is the BBM cross-platform messaging app, which apparently tops Apple’s popular iMessage service in a number of ways.
Apple could have done the same too, but they know iMessage is better and people will use it anyhow.
oh boy, why BlackBerry always list stuff that generic iPeople doesn't care/understand about? Two or three points of that list can be merged into one, security, control, antispam, spam is repeated several times... I'm guessing this list is focused on businesses.
yes, most of the stuff they listed was regarding security, but should went on to include
- bbm is packaged with glympse
- track when your messages are read
- packaged with voice and video calling
- cross platform
- create messaging groups and social contacting
you forgot to mention screen share!
wait wait wait!.. stop the train!... I've been told that iMessage doesn't allow you to send files.. is that true brother? you cannot send files such as pdf?.. only images? what is this? 2006?
You email them. You've heard of that right? Blackberry brags about their secure email. How could you forget that?
