Talk (Google Talk) App

Back on point... To put it simply, Talk needs to be able to ping BBM. Without a doubt, BBM is the best Chat/IM App out there. Why not tap into it and have Talk, talk to BBM..

Chances are that BBIM is a big selling point for blackberries. Chances are RIM doesn't want other phones to be able to access it, taking away that selling point.

As a former Blackberry Messenger person myself, I think maybe your issue is that you need to convince your BBM friends to switch to Google Talk. There isn't a lot of difference IMHO when it comes to the basics of BBM and GT. If you're looking for people to add to your GT ask and I'll be some people will be happy to pm you their Google address. Get a whole new group of friends.

Matter of fact the only thing that I can think of that was different about BBM was the barcode thing. And we have barcode scanner in the market which whips the tail off of BBM's barcode reader.

It shouldn't be a make or break point for you with the Droid. I say that respectfully, it's my opinion. You certainly are entitled to see things differently.

Reason being BB is dumb and has locked down their service to only blackberry users, BB users can also get google talk and can utilize google talk which is open to not only phones but the internet as well, so there is NO POINT to having BBM when you have a universal app such as GTalk which integrates other IM clients unlike BBM does. BBM is garbage.
