BlackBerry Messenger will launch on Android, so its heard that bbm is coming to android, just wanted to fill in all those how like bbm in the post iv read ......
BGR has learned from multiple trusted sources that Research In Motion is planning to bring its beloved BlackBerry Messenger app and service to Android, and eventually to iOS as well. According to our sources, RIM has not yet finalized details surrounding timing or pricing, but we have heard that the company might make the software free to all users. We’re also told strategy is still being developed, however, and RIM may end up charging users a one-time fee or even a recurring fee for access to its BBM service on third-party platforms.
It might seem a bit strange for RIM to want to bring the software that is responsible for keeping BlackBerry devices in the hands of countless potential defectors, but in the big picture, we think it could make sense. The company is getting very frustrated with applications like WhatsApp and Kik offering third-party experiences based on a concept RIM invented, and RIM apparently wants to own the space.
As far as what Android and iOS users can look forward to, we’ve been told RIM will offer stripped down versions of the BBM experience BlackBerry owners know and love. That way, Android and iOS users can communicate with practically anyone who has a smartphone using BBM, but they might not be able to share photos, location, or videos (when RIM crosses that bridge). Users who want the full BlackBerry Messenger experience will still need a BlackBerry smartphone to get it. At the same time, RIM could own the entire messaging app category on every major smartphone OS platform and could potentially draw new users in because it has given them a taste of what BlackBerry Messenger is all about.
Right now, we have heard that Android is definitely a go. But again, we’re not sure on timing, though our sources are confident that it will launch some time this year. RIM chose Android first because of the fact that it could develop and integrate something like this much easier with an open platform, but the plan is to build and deploy an iOS version at some point as well.

For Skype fans, and more specifically those who lean towards the Windows Phone side of the mobile world, it seems as if the official Skype app has been hanging over our heads for quite some time now. Skype for Windows Phone was first released as a public beta at the end of February this year.
Fast forward almost eight weeks, and Microsoft have finally deemed Skype for Windows Phone a functional and complete app worthy of a 1.0 version and ready for public consumption. The final 1.0 version of the Skype application has come just in time for all those enthusiastic consumers who are raiding local stores to snap up the Nokia Lumia 900, the latest must have smartphone.

The Skype app is now live in the Windows Phone Marketplace and brings with it all of the features you would expect from a mobile version of the popular software that was originally created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis but subsequently purchased by Microsoft in 2011. After downloading, users will be able to place voice and video calls to any of their contacts as well as make use of the built-in instant messaging type features to send text based messages.
Calls to other Skype users are obviously free of charge with the app not being platform limited, meaning that Windows Phone Skype users can place voice and video calls to any worldwide Skype user, regardless of the platform they are using Skype on. The ability to search through and add new contacts is a welcome feature, with the final release also benefitting from some user interface improvements over the beta version.
The lack of backgrounding abilities may prove to be a bit of a deal breaker for a lot of users, meaning that the Skype app actually has to be running for incoming calls to be received. With that in mind, Skype for Windows Phone does seem to perform very well over 3G and LTE data connections, as well as being extremely functional on Wi-Fi as you would expect.
The small inadequacies of the software shouldn’t detract from what is otherwise a very polished and attractive looking Skype implementation and is sure to be a welcome addition to the Windows Phone Marketplace for regular users of the established VoIP service.

Flipboard, an iOS exclusive for several months, was officially released for Android early Friday morning. The beta release came out earlier in May following an apk leak of the exclusive Samsung S III application. To this day, I'm not sure if this leak was a planned bit of genius from the Flipboard team or not. but here is the feature list including what's new in its first official release to Android:
Be amazed by what you see when everything people are sharing, collecting and publishing in every moment comes together in a single place.
Search for anything—people, topics, hashtags, blogs, your favorite sites—and flip through articles, updates, photos and videos in a beautiful magazine format.
Connect Flipboard to 12 social networks, streamlining your reading and activities like commenting, liking and sharing. Services include Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google+, YouTube, Google Reader, LinkedIn, Flickr, 500px, Sina Weibo and Renren.
Get a quick dose of what’s happening now, in Cover Stories, a constantly updated selection of articles, photos and videos shared by your friends.
Save anything to read later using Instapaper, Pocket and Readability.
Create a Flipboard account to access your favorite content and social networks on different or shared devices.
Enjoy Flipboard in 14 localized editions—for Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Spain, Taiwan, U.S. and U.K.
Explore hundreds of staff picks in the Content Guide, including must-read magazines and blogs, gorgeous photography and special curated sections devoted to the news of the day and other topics of interest.
Access Flipboard quickly through the widget.
With the full release, Flipboard can now access Google Plus and Youtube. Google Plus, up to now, had been limiting the partners in which sufficient API was released allowing third parties access to their feeds. Upon receiving the update from the Play Store, I immediately added both feeds.
The Google Plus feed is quite breathtaking on Flipboard. It will even rival the native Google Plus application on Android in style and function. I did have some lag in getting updates, but that's to be expected from this early of a release and potentially a lot of pulls from Google's API. YouTube also worked well, feeding me my subscriptions and video worked well in my first few tests. The challenge now for content publishers is to make their material shine within Flipboard. I do believe this will become a popular application within the entire web ecosystem.
There were questions about receiving the update. I've linked directly to the Google Play Store below. The app itself will not push an update at this time, but by going to the Play Store, one should be able to see the update there. It is reported to be heading out to other markets as well, so a quick search should suffice. Once updated, users will be able to add Google Plus and YouTube to their pull list under the My Account section.
What are your thoughts on the updated release of Google Plus? In my very humble opinion, this rivals any magazine style news reader anywhere and is a great addition to the Android platform with widget support.

Hey everybody!. About 5 months ago I started developing my first Windows Phone project called SkyType. I published multiple versions but after a lot of hours of work and i published them into App Spotlight. But today (a hour ago) I published the first update that i actually want public to use. (Or I personaly think is usable.)

Big Name Social Media Apps That You've Never Heard Of
Hey XDA people. I was thinking of different types of apps that people might find interesting. I was looking around the Play store when I started thinking about all the social media apps that are launched by companies like Facebook, Instagram, Skype and other large social media companies. Many of these apps go completely unnoticed by the public even though millions of dollars are invested in them. So I tried out a bunch of these apps (most of them I've never even heard of) and I made a list of my favorites. Here is what I found.
Boomerang from Instagram
Well this is a jolly little app that works well with Instagram. Boomerang lets you experience life to the fullest by allowing you to make little videos that loop. That's pretty much it. It's more of a GIF in the sense that it takes a burst ten photos and then stiches them together as animation. The animation plays through once, then plays in reverse and continues the loop. Hence the name "Boomerang". Its a fun app and it will breath new life into your Instagram feed.

Shout! for Messenger
Facebook has developed a bunch of add-on apps for messenger. This one is completely random but kind of interesting. Shout will take several photos and you'll put one word on each one. It will play through your photos on messenger so your words form a sentence. This is probably something you'll only use a few times before you uninstall it, but it's kind of funny I guess. Check out the screenshots here to see how it works.
Download
Hello Caller ID & Blocking
Probably the best caller ID app in the world, "Hello" uses data from Facebook to give you information on the people that are calling you. Not only that but you can also block unwanted calls. If you receive a call that is not able to be identified, you'll be able to see how many people have blocked it. If it's a spammer then you'll know right away by the amount of blocks it has. It's a really cool app and I'm surprised more people don't know about this.
Download
Strobe for Messenger
This one is very similar to the boomerang app for Instagram. Strobe is another Facebook app that can share your creations directly into messenger. Use your phone to create a GIF of something interesting and then share it with your pals. Some good GIF ideas: You pulling a tooth out, breaking some glass, shutting a door, buying concert tickets online... There's endless amounts of fun to be had.
Download
Viber Wink
Viber Wink is exactly like Snapchat. There is nothing about this app that sets it apart from Snapchat other than the fact that it works with Viber. But the thing is, Viber users tend to be very loyal customers. Have you ever met people that use Viber? It's like other apps don't even exist to them. So clearly the app is aimed towards existing Viber users and that's who I would recommend this app to. I think people who use Viber will love Viber Wink. So check it out!
Download
There are a bunch of other social media apps created by the big companies. check out the developer page for your favorite social media app to see if they've got anything else you might like. You might find something sweet!
Honestly, I spend too much time on Social Media. So I don't want to get any more apps for social networking. But viber wink could be useful for me. I would love to try this one.
nice job
Great!
Great infor
Thx for sharing.

Aqua Mail on HMS vs Gmail on GMSEmail clients have been essential to making email use, on mobile devices, easy and more efficient. A good email client will have tools for customization, organization, dark/light themes, spam filters, and more. Gmail is the most popular email service in the world and its Android app is a favorite among people who have GMS-powered phones. But what about people with HMS phones? For people using new Huawei devices that use HMS, AppGallery hosts many third-party solutions. One of these solutions is an email client called Aqua Mail. Let's compare the two.
Gmail on GMSThe Gmail app has the huge advantage of being tied to your Gmail account. For any GMS-powered phone, this is the very first thing that you'll set up on your new Android device. Gmail is the central component that powers everything in the Google ecosystem. The app comes preinstalled on most Android phones and is completely free to use in its full capacity.
Despite the name, Gmail isn't only for Gmail users. The Gmail app can manage email accounts from a number of different providers. This is good news for anyone that doesn't want to use multiple email clients. This will make any third-part email services that you might have, look and behave just like a Gmail account.

Since it is backed by one of the biggest tech companies in the world, you'll always have access to cutting-edge communication technologies, like predictive AI text.
Gmail is preferable to just about every third-party client that is available on the Play store. It's a very simple app to use and is available on just about any platform.
Aqua Mail on HMSThis email client claims to be the "most customizable email client for Android". It has a massive amount of features that can be tweaked to give you your ideal experience. There are over 300 settings for customization alone.
The client features tools that allow you to sync your Exchange contact and calendar, easily. When you're composing an email, you'll be able to use their rich text editor to make your emails look exactly how you want them to.
A dark mode can be enabled to make your emailing easier on your eyes. The app looks really great and is very simple to navigate. Managing your emails is very similar to the system that Gmail has. For example, the same swipe features are here that allows you to easily delete or move specific emails from your inbox. So users that are coming from the Gmail app will have no trouble jumping right in with Aqua Mail.
This is one of the best options for people with HMS phones and is a great replacement for the Gmail app. You can download Aqua Mail for free from the Huawei AppGallery. There is also a pro version that you can buy, which gets rid of ads and unlocks some premium features.PREMIUM FEATURES:Get the most out of Aqua Mail by purchasing the Pro version and unlock: • Push mail for Exchange servers (corporate email) and Office 365. • Add multiple accounts. • Use identities. • Remove the Aqua Mail promo signature in outgoing messages. • Remove ads.
Love it
Nice alternative.
