A status update from SHAPE services regarding IM+ for the BlackBerry PlayBook

The other day when we wrote about IM+ Plus for PlayBook having issues getting approved into BlackBerry App World we did so in an effort to help improve the overall situation for not only SHAPE services but also for BlackBerry developers out there who may be facing similar challenges. As expected, we didn't recieve any updates from RIM but SHAPE services did. As they wrote on their blog:

Shape's Development Head Alex and myself just had a talk with Tyler Lessard, RIM's VP, Global Alliances and Developer Relations.

Tyler was really friendly and helpful and we have now a hope that IM+ for Playbook will be approved within two weeks or so. We understand that to approve such an complex app can take the same time or more as the development of IM+ for Playbook itself. Just as remember, the app is now for two months in the testing queue.

And the best of the talk: after years of our requests to RIM we got from Tyler a promise to consider BlackBerry Push usage for IM+. It would make user experience on the BlackBerry platform the same kind of beautiful like on iOS.

Please continue to follow-up the story, it will really help to make things done. And to celebrate the moment we will offer to our friends from CrackBerry.com 25 free licenses of IM+ Pro for BlackBerry right now and 25 free licenses of IM+ for Playbook after release.

Needless to say, we're glad to hear things are now on the right track for IM+ for the BlackBerry PlayBook and considering SHAPE services has given us 25 copies of IM+ Pro for BlackBerry to give away -- we'll do just that. Drop a comment on this post and we'll pick 25 of you all out there to win one free copy each courtesy of SHAPE services.

Please note: Contest is for the BlackBerry version, PlayBook version contest will be held later

Posted by ChefMorry Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Sign me up! Glad RIM got in touch with shape. Hopefully they can keep their two week goal, as they've missed every other goal/promise concerning the playbook.

Great Job!! I'd love to have the app!!. Give them another push on the Playbook update.

Posted by sjsplaty Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Sure would be great to win a copy of this. i already use IM+ Voice and the full IM+ Pro would be fantastic!

Posted by DavideaNY Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

I need one for the bb and one for the pb

Posted by CheerfulChe Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

count me in!

Posted by Zizzzzy Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Here's to winning one copy now, and another later for the playbook! :)

Either or, winning one would probably guarantee me buying for the other respective device when avail if I dig the app!

Glad all is working out in this situation and hopefully it puts a bit more spotlight on RIM needing to work harder for its developers who really hold a huge part of how successful the playbook will be! Give em love RIM, start spending some of your reserves with some great incentives. Free Playbooks is great for independent devs, but not much of a pusher for the Devs you really need on board!

Posted by WonderOtter Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

This is fantastic news!

Posted by elsteve9 Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Neeeeeed!!!

Posted by Leopardmech Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Sounds like a great app to have on my PlayBook.

Posted by BBFTW88 Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Need this app on my PB

Posted by mfreedmn_97 Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

The pen (in this case electronic media/social networking) is indeed mightier than the sword. If anyone thought for a second that Kevin's efforts are 'wasted' and that RIM isnt paying attention to Crackberry and others boards like it this ought to put that notion to rest. The listening part is another story but at least the story backed up with facts and proof did the trick and the developer got a response. You would think that RIM would be responsive and responsible dealing with the people who in the end will make or break the Playbook. No apps = no sales. Good for Shape. Good luck .

Posted by Rossco_P Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Sign me up !!
It's apps like this that continue to make the Playbook a game changer.
Using mine every day and loving it !!

Posted by falconeight Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

My iPad already has it, but give it to me anyway

Posted by knightdriver Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

This is a definite must have app. Can't wait to see it for the playbook. Anything that gets me on the playbook more is a plus.

Posted by fghard Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Hope RIM didn't do this for the bad PR it could generate, and really give us push.

This would make me love even more my PB, I hate justifying it to all my friends, and having this app, I would only be needing Skype to GTFO of all those voices from Ipad holders.

Thanks CB for the updates.

Posted by kevin.mcca Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

YES!!:D I've been waiting for this long time!

Posted by jdgarrido Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Great can't wait to try it :)

Posted by Gregory Ryan Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

This is fantastic news. I was worried, but it looks like RIM is trying to make it right.

Posted by mavsguy842 Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

IM+ would be good, and give me a chance to actually use the PB for communication outside of facebook. I hope this lights a fire at RIM because they've definitely underdelivered on the Playbook so far.

Posted by eyhab27 Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

woohoo for IM+! Would love another app on my PB!

Posted by Concession Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Great to see an IM app is finally about to come to the Playbook.

Looking forward to getting it, here or via app world :)

Course, I don't need the phone version...

Posted by iSin Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

I would LOVE to win a copy of this, it is almost impossible for me to buy the app at the moment and it would be really useful for me. I really hope i can get a copy of this one, Thank you so much CrackBerry for this chance.

I hope RIM will not go the same way as Apple!
So I'm happy to hear the news about Shapes IM+ and would be much happier if I win one of the free copies.

Thank you! :-)

Posted by PostMortem Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Sounds like progress, so here's hoping. I haven't used IM+ in AGES!

Posted by adrenaline_x Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Posted by IvanAMANation Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

I think that is real cool of IM+ team to do that for Crackberry. Thats how you build good relationships. My man Kevin is going to be the official Go-To Guy for RIM and Blackberry users. RIM should just buy Crackberry.com for $50Million and make him the President of CB.com!!!!!! ........ Is that enough Brown Nosing to get a license, Kev'??? :D

Posted by trsbbs Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Glad to see things are getting worked out for them..

Sometimes it takes a poke in the eye to get someones attention.

Would be awesome if RIM would get their act together and approve this backlog of apps.

Posted by 312 Monday, Jul 18, 2011 313 days ago

Can't wait to get this app. It's sad that such extreme measures had to be taken to get RIM's attention.
