BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is now available for Android
smartphones which are running on Gingerbread, according to an official blog post by the
company.BlackBerry had announced in January that they would be
launching the app for the Android smartphones still running on the older
version of the software. Users with Android Gingerbread can download the BBM
app on to their smartphones via the Google Play Store.
According to the most recent Android
Developer Dashboard, Gingerbread represented about 21 percent of the total
Android platform. This means that older version is still a little relevant in
some markets where most entry level budget smartphones are launched with the
Android 2.3 build. For example some of the lower-end smartphones from Micromax
such as Bolt A26, A27 still run Gingerbread.
For BlackBerry it is a smart move to
try and expand its user base on Android by offering the BBM app to more Android
users. BBM app for Android and iOS saw over 20 million new users within the
first week of its launch.
The BBM app allows users to chat with
their friends by sharing their BBM PIN. They can also check which of their
friends are using the BBM app by looking at the Find Friends featureOwners of Android 2.3 devices can simply go to Google
