BlackBerry Messenger 6 :: Where Apps go social

BlackBerry® Messenger is an instant messaging application made for BlackBerry smartphone owners by RIM (Research In Motion). And the best part of the BlackBerry OS just got a bit better, as RIM announced their release of BlackBerry Messenger (BBM ver. 6). With this new BBM, it has got so many modified features such like better file sharing, enhanced status updates linked with major social media websites (Twitter, etc), in-game chatting capabilities, and more.

When we name it as application wise, BBM-integrated apps include FourSquare, Score Mobile, Wikitude, and the Huffington Post app, along with a few more that can be found here in the BlackBerry App World. You’ll have to install BBM 6 to use any of the new apps. As more and more apps integrate BBM 6, users will then be able to share the content they love in real-time for free, whether its planning to check out a movie or chatting up the latest breaking news.

Alistair Mitchell, VP, BBM Platform & Integrated Services at Research In Motion said, “BBM 6 marks the beginning of an even greater social experience for BlackBerry smartphone users. It also represents an incredible opportunity for developers to leverage the viral nature of the BBM service and we have already begun working with various developer partners who will be bringing their BBM connected apps to BlackBerry App World this week, offering users highly engaging app experiences.”
