Not one, but two morsels of information for BlackBerry users today are ready for your consumption. First up, BlackBerry Messenger. According to RIM, within the next few days, “exciting new things” are coming to the Canadian based platform’s “in-house” IM client. For BBM junkies, this is reason to celebrate as BBM isn’t exactly the most often updated BlackBerry app, routinely going months upon months between updates. Good stuff. On a...
