BlackBerry is Testing Out BBM on Android 2.3 Gingerbread.There is a large audience out there who are unable to use BBM due to Gingerbread not meeting BlackBerry’s requirements. Android 4.4 KitKat is the latest version of Android at the moment, but at the same time chances are there are probably smartphone users out still running on older builds of Android.
There are still about 21% of Android users on Gingerbread especially in developing countries where BBM is still huge. There can be a variety of reasons behind this, such as the decision not to change to a newer device because either it costs too much, or they really love their current device at the moment. Either way there are users out there who might be running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread or maybe even older, a possibility that we cannot discount, and it seems that it is a possibility that BlackBerry cannot discount either.
In an email sent out by BlackBerry, they are currently seeking beta testers who might still have Android devices running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread to help test their BBM app. Of course there’s no telling how this might work out as Gingerbread might simply be too old to provide a good experience for the user, but either way it’s good to know that BlackBerry is trying none the less.
