WhatsApp Will Not Support BlackBerry 10

It seems that WhatsApp has announced that they will not be offering any kind of support for BlackBerry 10. This can be quite a bummer considering how BlackBerry 10 has been considered to be a milestone event for RIM this coming January 30th, 2013. In an email from Crackberry author James Richardson, the WhatsApp team did confirm that they are not looking to “support BlackBerry 10 at the moment”. Of course, one should always read between the lines in such situations, and “at the moment” might not mean that they are not going to make a return to BlackBerry devices.

WhatsApp does make plenty of sense for cross-platform communication, and when it comes to a BlackBerry device, it makes full sense to have WhatsApp running on it, physical keyboard and all. Well, one can only wait, sit tight and keep their fingers crossed, don’t you think so? After all, there is always a fall back to BlackBerry’s very own messaging program of sorts, which isn’t as universal as WhatsApp, but then again, if you do not have prawns, shrimp will have to do.
