Yes, that was "one of the suggestions put forth to port other closed-source applications". Without the source, it's not porting, it's reverse engineering and reimplementing. And, depending upon your location on the globe, getting unhappy letters from lawyers representing the developers of the original app.

Do you know of an open source, BlackBerry OS equivalent to Wine? One that isn't being threatened by RIM's lawyers, perferably. And a legal way of getting RIM's proprietary BBM software for running upon the translation layer? And a method of generating the needed pins, the ones that are normally tied to BlackBerry hardware?

Did you read the thread? The OP agreed it CANNOT BE DONE.
Can someone please close this thread as it is pointless!

There is no BBM app for iphones. If you are referring to the youtube video I am sure it is fake.

@HtheB the api gives a convenient access to blackberry developers into the blackberry platform and framework.

It only gives us the idea of how blackberry developers are thinking about blackberry services.

But it gives us nothing about the technical details of how the things really happens
