BlackBerry, to Launch a BBM Gift-giving Platform

RIM is preparing a BBM gift-giving platform this year. The new platform will enable a BlackBerry user to approve and pay for some carrier services for another BlackBerry subscriber. Included in the applicable services are airtime and apps. In addition to this, the user can also buy airtime for personal use.

Though it is not yet clear from the PR, it seems that BlackBerry users can request apps and services that can come in handy. More over, RIM sees parents as the most potential subscriber of the upcoming BBM gift-giving platform. Imagine moms and dads buying additional minutes for their kids. Cool, right?

Unfortunately, RIM cannot give any release date for this feature yet. More updates are sure to come, so just keep it posted here on Gadg.
