Yesterday, the owner of BBM Andrew Bocking, had this to say about the unrelease of BBM for Android and iphone users.
"Last week, an unreleased, older
version of the BBM for Android app
was posted on numerous file sharing
sites. We were aware of an issue
with this unreleased version of the
BBM for Android app. This older
version resulted in volumes of data
traffic orders of magnitude higher
than normal for each active user and
impacted the system in abnormal
ways. The version we were planning
to release on Saturday addressed
these issues, however we could not
block users of the unreleased
version if we went ahead with the
launch.
We attempted to address the
problems caused by the unreleased
version throughout the day on
Saturday, but as active users of the
unreleased app neared a million –
and accelerated – it became clear
that the only way to address the
issue was to pause the rollout for
both Android and iPhone.
The team is now focused on
adjusting the system to completely
block this unreleased version of the
Android app when we go live with
the official BBM for Android app. We
are also making sure that the system
is reinforced to handle this kind of
scenario in the future. While this
may sound like a simple task – it’s
not. This will take some time and I
do not anticipate launching this
week.
Thank you for your patience while
we take the time needed to deliver
the experience you expect from
BBM".
We will continue to provide
you with updates here and through
@BaleTunde on Twitter. We will notify
everyone when it's has been released.
