Google Play is like the Wild West and yesterday millions of users waiting for BBM on Android seemed to have paid the price for Google’s poor standards for Google Play, where I can pretend to be any company and upload useless apps with exactly the same name and users can be conned and will download the fake app till the real company in question asks Google to take the fake app down.

I dont see how the appearance of fake apps and delayed launch by RIM are connected. Also why have they pulled off ios app from some regions?

 

[LordSpymaster]

Apparently cause of some backend issues caused by the leaked apk.

It says not available for India, and us too. where did you get it from?

Blackberry has pulled the app from IOS :S

Apparently cause of some backend issues caused by the leaked apk.

the leaked app was also from BB only.

 

[LordSpymaster]

Then maybe because they didn't have the infrastructure to handle a mere 1 million messages.

 

[Navjot Singh]

You mean a million users. Apparently 1.1 million users were active before the official launch.

Here is a screenshot from a fake app. Look at then name in the reviews "Jamal Ramprasad"
