For something they market as a way to grab new customers, RIM sure is taking it’s time making it’s proprietary messenger service to the world. It already feels close to the most robust mobile messaging service I’ve ever used sans video, so why not mass market the experience on computer desktops? Instead we read rumors of RIM working on an iOS and Android port of the service. In my opinion this is definitely not the direction you want to go. Start with the desktop experience to draw more people into using it to communicate with Blackberry users. Use some proprietary login service that to sync the mobile phone with the desktop like they showed with the Blackberry playbook demo. If apple can grow with facetime limited to only apple ios and apple computers do the same with Blackberry Messenger. Have some pride RIM keep the experience to the faithful fans who’ve been sticking by you.
