No I am not talking about whale eggs. I am talking about the single biggest threat to Blackberry since the iPhone. But before I go any further, YES Beluga is yet another messenger. So why if Beluga is just another messenger do I love it. Because for as much as I love Android I miss my Blackberry. And besides the great keyboard, quick messenging, and fast multitasking the thing I miss the most about Blackberry is the blackberry messenger. The ability to instantly talk to anyone with a blackberry was great. And for the longest time I would pay $60 a year just for BBM. Bit now I don't.
Enough with that. The good about Beluga. It is a great way to to keep up with groups of people you actually know. You can talk to one or more people in message groups called pods. In a pod you can share your pictures and location.
The extra great part of Beluga is you don't have to have Beluga to use it. Say for instance you are with a bunch of people out for the night and you get spilt up. Int the group there are some Androids, iPhones, Blackberry and regular feature phones. Now you could email or text everyone individually. But with Beluga you could add everyones email and cell to a pod and the messages goes to them client or not.
Right now Beluga is on Android and iPhone. Blackberry is on the way.
