While BBM was updated recently and brought the new BBM Voice feature, we still haven't seen any solid signs of BBM Video making an appearance just yet. BBM Video has been rumored for quite a while, and although we've seen some hints at it here and there, we still have no official word on if it will be in BlackBerry 10. Well to further fuel the fire, when browsing through the notifications on the latest BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha update, I noticed a nice little folder called bbm_video that houses a file named video_chat.m4a - the ringtone notification for BBM Video (it's the same ringtone as PlayBook video chat). Needless to say I was pretty excited to come across it and I'm even more excited at the prospect of BBM Video on BlackBerry 10!
So take it for what it is, but here's to hoping (yet again) that BBM Video is really on the way and will be ready to rock and roll (this) on BlackBerry 10.
