BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), will become a multiplatform service this summer when BBM launches as a free app on Android and iOS, CEO Thorsten Heins announced on Tuesday.
At the close of his BlackBerry Live 2013 keynote—echoing the famous "One More Thing" of Steve Jobs—Heins surprised the crowd and the press by announcing that BBM is ready to take its benefits to BlackBerry's fiercest competitors.
