I doubt it. The beauty and the reason that iMessage and BBM took off is because it was built right into the phone. Those messages get treated as first class citizens while third-party applications are off somewhere else. When I get a text message and an iMessage I can read them in the same place which is a plus to me. If I'm jumping around in disjointed conversations, sometimes with the same people, through different apps I don't want to really use that service anymore.
