Re: [Maemo 5] Blackberry Messenger on Maemo?
 

I don't think RIM wants to license out bb messenger to any of the competing platforms at this point. It has become their unique selling point and a lock-in mechanism for their current non-enterprise users.

what about hackers working on N900? Seems to me that all you need is a PIN and N900 can make use of BBM by an application..

Hello

So, if you have a BlackBerry unit and therefore its PIN, would it be theoretically possible to connect to a BBM with an application (an emulator?) that would use that PIN and make believe the BBM server that the connecting device is a BB unit?

Thanks a lot.

RIM Vice President Pete Devenyi had this to say on the subject:

BlackBerry is and will continue to be dominant in most corporations, [but] it's not going to be the only device given the fact that consumers have the choice to bring in their own devices and IT departments are often letting them in. So there's a question there. Do those corporations have to manage those devices differently or is there the possibility that RIM might extend capabilities to make it easier for those corporations to manage those devices as well? ... If the right thing to do is to extend a subset of those [BlackBerry] capabilities to be able to manage other devices, it's worthy of a conversation
