After the announcement of BBM Channels during the keynote on Tuesday at BlackBerry Live, we hopped right on the bandwagon and became early adopters of BBM Channels. Not only that, but BlackBerry Empire is now officially a featured channel amongst a select few other blogs and websites.
BlackBerry Channels is available for all BlackBerry devices in Beta Zone. If you have access to Beta Zone, head on over and download the BBM Channels app for BBOS 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 & 7.1 or the BBM Channels loader for your OS 10 or 10.1 device. *Note: the loader must be downloaded and run on a Windows PC.
BlackBerry Channels is another great way to keep in touch with your favorite topics from all across the world. These topics are not at all limited to BlackBerry, but for the moment – and for obvious reasons – it’s going to be all about BlackBerry.
