BlackBerry has released its killer app, the BBM messaging service, on Android and iPhone devices to ‘unprecedented’ demand.
As many as six million people had pre-registered for alerts ahead of the release to guarantee getting hold of a copy whilst others were left to wait in a queuing system to obtain the prized download.
The service enables as many as 30 friends to talk and share pictures in real time
Andrew Bocking, head of BBM, said: "Our team of developers and engineers has been working around the clock to bring you BBM, and make some upgrades while we're at it. Some incredible work has been done."
BlackBerry has been battling to remain competitive as it haemorrhages market share to its Android and iPhone rivals.
