![]() While Microsoft has had some success with increasing the number of apps available for its phone OS, it has continued to struggle, particularly in the U.S. Web-based messaging is an important arena, as evidenced by Facebook's US$19 billion deal to acquire WhatsApp and Japanese company Rakuten's acquisition of Viber, so it's crucial for Microsoft to get the biggest vendors onboard. The Viber and the BBM beta are compatible with Windows Phone 8.1 and 8, while the Facebook app also works with Windows Phone 7.5. The first version can't be used to make free voice calls, which is possible with the Android and iOS versions.īlackBerry said the company is "already working hard" on a second version, but it didn't elaborate on what features it would add. The two upgrades come after last week's announcement of a public beta version of BlackBerry's BBM app, which can be used to chat and share content.
