You mean have iphones work with BBM? Unlikely, unless they figure out a way to get into the RIM network, which they would also need to be able to create accounts on the RIM network.
If you're talking about a program similar to BBM but for communication between apple devices, whatsapp seems to be the biggest, maybe !ping but I heard it's also garbage.

Ive heard you can get a pin on the rim website so the actual process of getting a pin is possible, the thing is BB would have to release a BBM app for iPhone which seems basically impossible Posted via RS Mobile | |

I think if rim released BBM for iPhone it would be beneficial for apple because alot of ppl I know would be on an iPhone in a second if it had BBM, I think BB sales would dip if other phones could run BBM Posted via RS Mobile | |

odds are they would never allow cross-platform for that reason alone. Yes, the business oriented people would still stick with BB's because of their connectivity and awesome email implementation, but for all the "recreational" users who are pretty much using BB's for BBM would leave. Of course, there are those faithfuls who love the keyboard too much to leave.
Chances are lawsuits would follow if Apple finds a way to use BBM.

could always be a 3rd party software/developer then ends up finding a solution possibly by creating a new app/software 
that would be epic.
not gonna lie all i use my bb for is BBM lol everything else is useless.
i do like how my led blinks crazy colors but thats about it lol
iphone4 has wayyyyy faster internet/3g speeds imo
i do get lazy switching using my microsim adapater though

I doubt this would ever happen. Aren't BBM pins associated to the handset anyways? As well they would need to connect to the the RIM network in order to transmit and receive messages. No 3rd party is ever going to be able to develop something without the help of RIM.

There's cross platform apps that can be installed on either a bb or iphone or other smartphones. This is as close as you can get to a universal client. Probably just easier using MSN, yahoo chat program instead.

something about bbm encourages you to talk to people and be more social, especially with friends you don't usually chat with. group chats are definitely a plus.

Apple will probably never work with RIM to create a "BBM" for the iPhone, but APPLE (not 3rd parties) should create an app that is similar to the BBM

Apple need iChat on the iPhone, what's the point of an app that only work on their desktop/laptop?
