RIM to Put Messenger on Tablet With New Operating System
This article is for subscribers only.
Research In Motion Ltd., seeking to revive sales of the PlayBook tablet, will incorporate its popular instant-messaging program into the device by the time it debuts a new operating system in the latter part of 2012.
RIM didn’t include BBM, as the free messaging service is known, into the PlayBook in an upgrade last week as the Canadian company is still working on technical aspects, Alec Saunders, vice president developer relations, said in an interview at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today.
