As we preach last week, BlackBerry announced it will bring BlackBerry Messenger to Android and iOS. At this time our latest report, it turns out that instant messaging service has its limitations. Reported MOBILE Online from TrustedReviews (16/5), the BlackBerry Messenger will not be available for the iPad or Android tablet at its launch later. Vivek Bhardwaj as head of BlackBerry software portfolio told the site that the BlackBerry Messenger will be limited to the iPhone that is running iOS 6 or higher and Android smartphones.

"Smartphones are our real focus," said Bhardwaj. "If you look at the BBM service and how it is connected with the activity of a person, it is because he is mobile, since users often traveling."

BlackBerry's executive officers did not deny the possibility of BlackBerry Messenger will support the tablet in the future, but Bhardwaj said it would take longer.

"When you first look at tablets, computers, and other large screen, changing usage models and user behavior is changing," he explained. "(What is important) Our current focus is to provide BlackBerry Messenger to another smartphone."

Bhardwaj even hinted BlackBerry Messenger will be present to several different devices such as Smart TVs and computers. "I think, when you see something like Smart TV and desktop, it is an area that needs to be explored," he said.

For users of Android smartphones and the iPhone, the service will be available to BlackBerry Messenger this summer. (Nis)
