With BBM going cross-platform and it being the most secure, reliable form of communication BlackBerry finally takes a shot at other platforms, this one being another cross-platform app in WhatsApp.
While everyone knows WhatsApp is not secure, has a lot of bugs, BlackBerry wants beta BBM Channel testers to spread the word and let friends know what the best messaging system is, also that is is available on iPhone and Android devices.
I like the approach BlackBerry is taking, they are usually the ones who get attacked, this is them firing back with confidence. For more on whats new in the latest build of BBM Channels check out our previous article here.
