BBM 6 to add social gaming, SDK access coming BlackBerry Messenger is one of the cornerstones of RIM's mobile platform, and it may be getting a major overhaul in version 6. According to leaked information, BBM6 will feature social gaming integration -- including achievements and in-game chat. It sounds a bit like Xbox LIVE-meets-Blackberry, with your BBM name appearing as your 'GamerTag'. A BBM SDK is apparently also in the works. While we hope that might enable someone to finally build BBM capabilities into a desktop app, we're not going to hold our breath.
BBM 6 will likely only be available to devices running OS 5 or newer, at least in the beginning -- we'll have to wait and see if RIM releases a version for older BlackBerry models.
