Samsung ofrecerá BBM en la tienda Samsung App para todos los dispositivos Galaxy

agosto 6, 2013

Samsung ha anunciado recientemente que BBM pronto estará disponible a través de Google Play y la tienda Samsung App para sus clientes en toda África. Aunque todavía no hemos oído mucho sobre la fecha oficial del lanzamiento de BBM en Android o iOS, sabemos que el cliente de mensajería está en fase beta y esperamos que llegue pronto, si todo va según lo previsto.

Según el comunicado, BBM en los dispositivos Samsung ofrecerá el BBM chat, chat multi-persona y Grupos de BBM para los usuarios en África. Sólo podemos suponer que BBM estará disponible a nivel mundial cuando esté lista la versión para iOS y Android, pero tendremos que esperar a oír más al respecto.

De hecho, este es el primer anuncio que hemos visto en relación con BBM en otras plataformas, y aunque está orientado específicamente a los usuarios en África, sigue siendo una buena señal de que el lanzamiento en las demás regiones no está demasiado lejos (con suerte).

No hay fecha de lanzamiento oficial, aparte de la frase «disponible pronto», pero la cuenta atrás ha comenzado y tenemos los dedos cruzados para que los usuarios de Android y iOS puedan disfrutar de BBM en las próximas semanas.
