At least BBM is encrypted unlike the second most popular communication over ip malware in the world known as Viber.

percentage of people I text who use iMessage: ~90%
percentage of people I text who have a Blackberry or this Blackberry app: probably ~0%

So? That doesn't tell me anything or does not show BBM is unless pice of ****. I do not have any contact using BBM, but I do not think BBM is unless. They still have lots of users base. By offering BBM to alternative platform, they could expand its user base anyway.

iMessage is just a stolen product from BB anyway.

Haha, yeah, relax there. I wasn't saying it was an "unless pice of ****", just that the ubiquity and integration of iMessage gives it a huge leg up and makes it a better solution to me (and, I suspect, a lot of iOS users).

As to it being "stolen" from BBM, sure, whatever. Who cares — there's always going to be someone who did something "first".
