[MWC 2014] Here we are at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, and Stephen Elop has taken to the stage by touting just how well Windows Phone as a mobile operating system has done for itself over the years, where we are now at a point in time when Windows Phone holds 10% of the mobile operating system market, with an interesting snippet that the Nokia Lumia 1020 is the one which is pushing sales. The recent introduction of the Nokia Treasure Tag proximity sensor, as well as the Nokia Lumia Icon launched alongside Verizon Wireless in the US, will help bring the smartphone manufacturer to greater heights. Not only that, Elop also shared that BBM as well as Photoshop Express will be making their way to the Windows Phone platform, although an estimated release date was not shared with the masses.

Back in January, we had heard that BBM could soon be making its way onto older Android devices still running Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Towards the end of the month, we heard that its release would be soon and sure enough soon is correct as BlackBerry has officially released a new build of BBM that would target Android users still running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, so if you’re still holding onto a device that cannot be updated beyond Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread but would love to get your hands on the BBM app, you will be able to do so by heading on over to the Google Play Store for the free download.
As it stands, based on the latest Android distribution figures, Android Gingerbread devices account for about 20% of the Android market at the moment. This means that at least one fifth of Android users out there are still using older builds of Android that they have either chosen not to update, or are unable to update as their handsets aren’t powerful enough. Granted those figures will probably go down over time, but that also means that BlackBerry has one fifth of the Android market that they have not tapped into. With BlackBerry not doing so hot at the moment, we guess the next best thing would be to spread their services around, even if their hardware isn’t necessarily selling as well.

Last year BlackBerry Messenger was finally opened up to iOS and Android. When the app was launched, it didn’t come with all of the features that were exclusive to BBM on BlackBerry smartphones, features such as voice calling and BBM Channels. Back then the company said that it was working on quite a few features that would be rolled out as BBM 2.0 in 2014. It has delivered on its promise, with BBM 2.0 now being available for iOS and Android. New features have also been added to BBM for BlackBerry 10.
