BBM users should take note. An update to BBM is rolling out for Android and iOS users starting today. The key features in version 2.0 of BBM are:
- BBM Voice: Android and iPhone users can now make free voice calls to BBM contacts over a WiFi or data connection
- BBM Channels: iPhone and Android users now have access to BBM Channels – active, real conversations between people, brands and communities; users can create a new channel or subscribe to an existing BBM channel to join chats with others who share similar interests
- One-Click Sharing: BBM users on Android, iPhone and BlackBerry devices have access to fast one-click sharing of photos, documents, voice notes and more
- DropBox Integration: Built-in support for Dropbox with the BBM app makes it easy to send large files like presentations and videos; send files from your personal cloud directly to a BBM contact and save files directly to your smartphone or add it to your Dropbox account
- Location Sharing: BBM users can choose to share their live location for a specified amount of time to other BBM contacts, powered by Glympse
- New Emoticons: BBM users will be able to choose from 100 new emoticons
You can get more details here. It hasn’t hit my iPhone yet. But when it does I’ll update this post with my first impressions.
UPDATE: I downloaded it and it tried it. The experience is on my iPhone is pretty good though I did notice some visual issues with the app in the form of jitters when changing screens. I suspect that this will be fixed in an update shortly.
