Android will get BBM by 2012?

Oh wow! I am surprise by this news!! Android will be getting BBM!??

Purportedly the iPhone 4S is to play as guinea pig for the iOS build of BlackBerry’s Messenger service and now we are hearing through the grapevine that Android users might get in on some BBM action too.

The tipster surrounding this tidbit of information told T3′s tech blog a little about the state of BBM for Android. By the sounds of it, the service is in the ‘final stages of testing‘ and ‘should be out by 2012‘.

The image show in-apps and home screen of BBM for Android. It also said that the app’s integration with Android seemed to be working well, specifically with regards to push notifications, so good to know, if this isn’t a hoax.

True or not, we'll wait and see whether RIM will distribute one of the key features to the competition.

Jack Ma, the founder and CEO of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba very interested in buying Yahoo?!

"   Asked whether Alibaba might like to pick up the ailing US internet company, Mr Ma told an audience at Stanford University that he would be "very interested in Yahoo!."

The former schoolteacher later added that, were he to have his way, he would be eager to acquire all of Yahoo!, not just the stake it owns in Alibaba.

"The whole piece of Yahoo!," Mr Ma said in answer to a question from the audience about what part of Yahoo! he was interested in. "China is already ours, right? It's already in my pocket."

Yahoo! shares leaped 5pc to $13.80 (£8.85) in after-hours trading.

Acquiring Yahoo! could help Mr Ma expand his online empire into one of the world's most important internet markets.      "
