I think the fact that they are releasing it now is an admission of defeat. I know a few people that kept their blackberry as long as they did only because of BBM, so I can understand them not releasing it sooner, but I agree, a couple of years ago you might have convinced someone that blackberry was a good platform because they liked the bbm service on the iphone. A long shot maybe, but at least a shot.
