The BB guys have been flaunting their BBM for ages. Perhaps, it is time for Apple to come up with an answer. There have been rumors but I really wish to see some substantial development.
BBM works only with Blackberrys. iMessage works only with iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches, and Macs using the iMessage beta. Seems iOS is already ahead of the game. Not sure what you would want.

I agree. iMessage needs some major improvements. I have issues that I've never had with texting because of iMessage, mainly group chats, which right now, sucks on iMessage. Statuses and availability would also be a cool addition.
No joke, I'd take iMessage over BBM any day. What does BBM have that iMessage doesn't? Contact pictures? Big deal.
Me too and it works on wifi, not sure if bbm does or not?

BBM does work over wifi.
It's not always about blocking strangers, sometimes the need arises for blocking people who contact you unnecessarily or incessantly. The fact is that having to completely dissociate an email address because someone won't stop contacting your iMessage ID is an oversight.
I'm sure iMessage will eventually have the social stature of BBM.
I love everything about iMessage, except for the lack of "groups". And by groups, I don't mean group messaging, although I do love that too. I do of course mean groups of the BBM variety.
The idea of a dedicated room to chat about a certain subject and share content about said subject, with a large group of people, just added a great deal of depth to the whole platform messaging thing.
I can guarantee iMessage will eventually go that route. And, when it does, I will welcome it with open thumbs.
