Downloadable today for all devices running BlackBerry OS 4.5 or higher, BlackBerry Messenger 6, or BBM 6 for short, now enables users to chat even within a third-party app they are running. The initial batch of apps offering BBM integration includes Foursquare, Huffington Post and Wikitude.
In BlackBerry Messenger 6 means users can invite their friends to join them in a game and chat at the same time with another in real time without ever leaving the game.
