Now on with the new stuff. The Blackberry Messenger now features compatibility with some of your Smartphone apps. They are dubbed as “BBM-connected”. You can communicate with your BBM friends directly from the app you are using, and invite them over to join your experience. There is also a new profile feed, which allows you to share game scores, etc.
All in all, it looks like RIM is seriously trying to make its users download and use more apps respectively. This is by all means a great idea, albeit one which should have been implemented a couple of years ago. It will be interesting to observe if this update of the Blackberry Messenger will help RIM in increasing the download rate of the apps for Blackberry OS, an area where the Canadian company is well behind the competition, as well as getting out of its recent troubles.
If you have already downloaded the new BBM version, feel free to share your experience in the comments section below. In case you are a Blackberry owner, and you still haven’t updated your messenger, hit the link for download instructions(link)
