A quick look at the BlackBerry Z30 at #BBJamAsia

By Corey Herscu

Hong Kong: After 15-hours of travel, I stepped off the plane in Hong Kong today in a surreal daze. This would mark both my first time in Hong Kong and my first time attending a Jam developer session. Godspeed, let's do this.

Someone's ears must have been itching over in Waterloo today. Hours after it was reported that cross-platform BBM would potentially be launching on Friday, BlackBerry sent a tweet out (as seen above) confirming that BBM for Android (4.0 and higher) would be launching this Saturday Sept 21st, followed by iOS on Sunday the 22nd.

Reminder: Apple's next-generation iOS7 launches today for iPhone, iPod and iPad

In case you needed a reminder: today is the day that Apple's newest operation system, iOS7, becomes publicly available for mass consumption. No worries about plugging your device into iTunes and continually pressing refresh, the update will be pushed out OTA (over the air) by Apple directly and your device should notifiy you at some point today about the availability. If for some reason you're not a patient person, and can't wait to be notified automatically, you can always manually check for updates on your device in system settings. 

Good luck with your updates and, of course, make sure to backup your device prior to the change!
