BBM for Android demoed on video [Updated]
Update: And just like that, the video has been removed. Enjoy this pic instead.
Update #2: Working video (for now) after the break. Thanks, Jean-Baptiste!
A brave soul has broken BlackBerry's embargo and produced a video demo of BlackBerry Messenger running on Android
If you've been waiting to see just how BlackBerry Messenger would look and act on your Android phone, here's your chance. The app has been in a not-so-secret but tightly controlled beta test for a while, but it looks pretty much the same as it does on a BlackBerry 10 device.
The app seems to have all the same basic features on Android as it does on BlackBerry, including NFC abilities. The layout and controls are different from what we're used to as Android users though, and that may mean some adjustment time.
BlackBerry has stated that they would have the Android and iOS versions out by the end of summer, so it's good to see they are close to the finish line.
