This morning I came across the post below from 9to5mac.com and just had to shake my head. Apparently BlackBerry CEO John Chen thinks Apple should be legally required to port iMessage to BlackBerry: “… Apple does not allow BlackBerry or Android users to download Apple’s iMessage messaging service… This dynamic has created a two-tiered wireless broadband ecosystem, in which iPhone and Android users are able to access far more content and applications than customers using devices running other operating systems.”
Uh yeah. That’s the point. Apple has invested billions of dollars in it’s technology – why should it be forced to put it on a sinking ship that is BlackBerry? What’s next – forcing McDonald’s to sell Big Macs at Burger King?
