Wishful thinking aside, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is not coming to iOS on April 26th. It’s being wildly reported online that RIM has been preparing for an iOS release of their messaging service, but it’s not true.
According to a representative from RIM, BBM is eventually going to make an appearance on iOS, but the date isn’t April 26th.
Sites were claiming that Jim Balsillie made the announcement in Toronto this week, but RIM is reporting that an announcement was never made, and that Jim Balsillie didn’t speak at any event in Toronto this week.
Listen, we get that RIM’s co-CEO likes to talk and make aggrandizing comments about the their products, but this doozy can’t be attributed to Basillie in any capacity.
Instead, it was a made up rumor on a forum.

I guess RIM has given up.
Why else take the one major differentiator and make it available to a competing platform?

LikeShould we start a rumour that the reason BBM isn't coming to iPhone in April is because Apple is in talks to buy RIM to bring Facetime to Blackberries? ;-) I bet RIM's stockholders would leap at the chance to get some Apple stock. ;-P
I am kidding... mostly.
