    BBM type app for Android/Iphone

    Anyone have any suggestions... there are quite a few out there, but nothing that works just right. So far I've tried PingChat and KiK messenger, both of which you have to create new ID's or your contact has to sign up as well.

    Is anyone using an app that just works?

    I was going to suggest ping chat, when i first installed it it was very reliable, then they released an update and it works fine now with all the people i use it with, thats across the Android, BB and iphone platforms.

      I just installed Kik today on my new android phone. I think they just came out with v2 of the software. You create a username and can tell people, but when I first signed in it knew about 10 of my friends who were already on there and I didn't have to troll around asking for usernames. It scanned my phonebook I think and looked for matches, so it was pretty easy. Been using it today for the first time and it seems pretty cool. Nice and fast, I just dont want it to be killing my battery which is already bad.

        This has already been kickbanned from the blackberry app store, and just today RIM is suing Kik for patent infringement.

        Things just got a little more heated in the RIM / Kik dispute: RIM's now filed a Canadian patent infringement case against the company, just days after it pulled Kik Messenger from BlackBerry App World due to "breached contractual obligations." We don't have the complaint yet, so we're not sure exactly what RIM's patent covers, but it's a fair bet to say it's likely messaging-related -- and it's probably a safer bet to say that RIM doesn't screw around when it comes to dealing with potential threats to BBM. You mess with the bull, you get the horns. Update: The complaint is out now, and it's a doozy -- RIM says Kik founder Ted Livingston was a former RIM employee who worked on BBM. When he left RIM claims he joined the BlackBerry Alliance developer program to ostensibly develop a music sharing app, but wrote Kik Messenger instead, using what RIM claims is confidential information from the Alliance program. RIM's also saying that Kik's marketing steps on the BBM trademark. That's a lot more than a simple patent issue, and it certainly explains why RIM reacted so violently to the app -- we'll see how Kik responds.


        They ain't screwin' around. Kik had about 1 million users one week after launch, I bet this company is going to be toast within a year now.

            I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.
