I always heard of BlackBerry’s BBM and how people just can’t live without their BB and their addiction to the BBM. Honestly, I am not a fan of BlackBerry and never tried it either; I just believe that it has nothing unique! Please don’t tell me “e-mail access”, Push E-mail could be setup on all smart phones and some of the dumb ones as well. What some of you don’t know is that ALL Nokia E-Series are compatible with the BB service, some of the SonyEricssons and Motorolas as well.
Anyways, back to the core of the article. I’ve always been curious about this BBM thing and always thought it was cool, till early last month when Ping! for iPhone was announced and available in the AppStore for free. I immediately downloaded it onto my iPhone and my wife’s and started trying it out.
I started spreading the word about it, since it’s useless if none of your friends have it. I succeeded some how, and now a few of my friends have it and we keep messaging using it! It works very smoothely, it’s fast and free. All it needs is an Internet connectivity (Wi-Fi, GPRS, 3G, etc…) which is available on all iPhones I think.
What’s so cool about it also, is that it works exactly as the SMS does, it notifies you whenever you receive a message and it shows you the number of unread messages on the icon of the application. It’s really cool, but I really think that Apple should take a closer look into such applications and how much value it will add to their products! If I were in Apple’s shoes, I will invest and buy this application and have it pre-installed on all of my devices. Such a service is really needed by everyone!
I really agree with what Adam Ostrow from Mashable said: “The ideal messaging app would seemingly have a version for multiple platforms (iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, etc.) and also support texting to non-users. That’s likely the direction most of these companies will ultimately move in, but we’re not quite there yet.”
