Android  BBM is a very widely used online service a bit like
Google Talk, Twitter etc. Since Twitter is currently valued at
around 20 billion and RIM/Blackberry at 7.7 billion dollars,
salvaging the BBM service is probably smart.  That said, they
should have done this years ago as it was pretty obvious: - BBM
was everywhere - it was desirable (reasonably easy and lets you
reach many people easily, no per message charge) - iPhones and
Androids were starting to be everywhere too and make BBM less
desirable  So this is most likely a case of too little too late.
But maybe they can make Microsoft pay them to have a Windows
Phone version ;-)  Comment: Re:You're fine if you don't want to
