CrackBerry Live: Hookflash brings open-source cross-platform video chat to BlackBerry 10

Posted by Simon Sage on 15 May 2013 2:02 am

One company we bumped into at BlackBerry Live 2013 was Hookflash. Using their OpenPeer SDK, they've managed to get video chat working between BlackBerry 10 and iOS in relatively little time. Given it's still in a rough beta state, and we've seen video chat solutions on BlackBerry 10 before, what's really cool here is that the wholething is open-source. This opens the doors wide open to...
