Group messaging Apps are one the most popular forms of communication as of late in the wake of text rate hikes (which is a horrid abuse of power by the carriers- except for Sprint). But in the wake of the hype of these apps Samsung of all companies is here to save us?
Yes Samsung is here with ChatON, a new multi platform group messaging program the likes of Blackberry messenger! It is rumored to be announced at the IFA event overseas. Which all should be happy if it works as well as we hope it will.
Now comes the loser in this possibly, RIM and its blackberry messenger. RIM was rumored to introduce Blackberry messenger, it's knight in shining armor, to android this year and iOS early next year. Where you at RIM? If RIM even hopes to save itself you would think this was one thing they should have hope to capitalize on.
Don't get me wrong I love Rim as it holds a big spot in my heart but they missed another opportunity to get bbm out on more platforms. If RIM truly wants to gain more consumer buyers them they will have to make a move soon or fail to exist because they are losing many consumers, even in Canada!

BBM is still the most secure and private messaging application. ChatOn is just like every other application that has never caught on like PING, WhatsAPP. AND ChatON won't even have the delivered or received msgs like BBM - main reason why ppl use bbm! There is already AIM, MSN, YIM, ICQ, Facebook, etc. We have text messages on phones and text messaging applications as well as IM applications. What do we need another messaging service for?
really what makes them behind?
RIM is losing traction in a huge consumer driven market and has no new or innovative designs. There phones are essentially reproductions of previous models over and over again. Blackberry messenger is the only innovative idea they have and have had this for years, chatON probably won't be as great bbm but it offers cross platform group chat. RIM's continuous hopes that qnx will be their next great thing is not promising. RIM needs to make bbm cross platform and that might bring people to RIM alongside a new OS. RIM's new phones are a year behind the likes of Android and Apple's iOs.
Don't get me wrong, I actually love RIM and want them to get back into it as I once was a Crackberry user and still have family on bb but first and foremost I have to report from facts.
