Nimbuzz for BlackBerry 10 Launches, Combining GTalk, Yahoo and Facebook into Single App

Nimbuzz, one of the largest and fastest growing mobile communications platforms in the world, today announced the release of its Nimbuzz messaging app for BlackBerry 10. The redesigned application is the only messaging platform to integrate GTalk, Yahoo and Facebook Messenger into a single BlackBerry application, enabling BlackBerry users to send unlimited chat messages and share pictures or videos files across any mobile device.

With more than 20 million smartphones projected to run on BlackBerry 10 by 2013 (source: ABI Research), Nimbuzz will provide BlackBerry 10 device users, including PlayBook, free access to:

Group and 'Peer-to-Peer' messaging - integrated messaging and free chatrooms
Entertainment through the N-World - an entertainment-focused international marketplace
Multimedia sharing - a cheaper way to share data
Social integration-post direct to Twitter and Facebook without leaving the app

BlackBerry selected Nimbuzz as a pre-launch recipient of its new SDK, providing advanced tools and resources to maximize the impact of Nimbuzz across all BlackBerry 10 devices, including an expedited review process from BlackBerry World.

"BlackBerry must continue to identify and promote the most successful and unique apps that already reach millions of users worldwide - this focus on advanced functionality and developer engagement will be a catalyst to the platform's success," said Vikas Saxena, Nimbuzz CEO. "As an early pioneer in mobile communications, and a long-time BlackBerry developer, Nimbuzz will continue to deliver a powerful, feature-rich experience to BlackBerry users."
