We first started hearing rumors that Research in Motion was going to take BlackBerry Messenger cross-platform back in March of this year. At a BlackBerry World Q&A session for developers, however, Research in Motion’s Mike Kirkup, when asked when this would happen, said that RIM had no plans or intentions of taking BBM cross platform.
We still may have a chance, though, at seeing some type of cross platform integration between third party IM clients and BBM as RIM could open up their API to developers allowing other chat applications to communicate with BlackBerry Messenger.
