Blackberry BBM to Launch on iOS and Android June 27th

A few days ago, rumors circulated after a tweet from T-Mobile UK stated that Blackberry’s “BBM” direct messaging software will be released for iOS and Android on June 27th.

Since then, T-Mobile UK has taken down the tweet. But Blackberry confirmed its plan to develop apps for other mobile platforms, which would launch some time this summer.

BBM currently has 60 million users, who send 10 billion messages per day. These new apps will be the first versions of the service released on non-Blackberry hardware.
