California, Mar 4: Why do the BlackBerry users have all the fun? It's simple, BlackBerry has the exclusive BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) app. But, soon you may also get this taste. Various tehnology blogs reported that BlackBerry maker Research in Motion (RIM) may launch the cross-platform version of BBM for Google Android and Apple iOS platforms.

The latest bruit news on the launch of BlackBerry Messenger for Android and iOS gained momentum amidst the rumors of BBM 6.0 launch with the upcoming BlackBerry OS 6.1 Evolution update.
