Are they as loose as their BBM counterparts?

its easy to find em since they gotta put they government ala facebook...so just cross reference who u wanna holla at on FB

and enter there name on kik and they SN pops up....its jumpoffs on demand

layout is AIM circa 1995 though....so AIM is still da king to beat wit group messaging, statues, fb chat, twitter intergration, etc.

wait, you cant even send files on this joint.

...there goes the "on demand" aspect.

no statues, no pics, no twitter/fb/myspace integration.....basically AIM from da 90's.

but its got da similar tech that automatically finds people u may know.....something i think AIM did too

bottomline, its a platform  for people that are going to lose BBM when blackberry phones are rendered useless....AIM is da leader of cross platform IMs in da US

Windows messenger for da overseas cats....

AIM + facebookchat >*

If Kik gets Profiles, statuses, basically the same thing BBM has, will it take over?

1) Yeah NO!!!!
2) You can't be serious trying to compare email options

3) Playing Angry Birds all day, Controlling iTunes, monitoring my work network (I work IT), using AR technology, editing documents on the go, listening to Pandora while doing it all... don't make me keep going

4) rather have a phone that I can have a 1000 things on it then a phone that I can only do 1 additional thing on.

That is all

3)Surely you aren't touting multitasking on the iPhone compared with a BB. Y'all just got that and it really (truthfully) isn't full multitasking. Pick another argument. iPhone still doesn't have a multiple notification system (to get a notification, your app must be open and running).





Let's be clear about what iOS4's multitasking is: Rather than run multiple apps at the same time, iOS4 freezes the ones that aren't in use, with the exception of certain functions. Music, for instance, can play in the background, VoIP apps can answer calls and GPS apps can give directions.





But most apps won't do anything except go to sleep, which means one of the classic tricks of multitasking, loading one task while you perform another, is not available unless the developer adds that function under a special task completion API. Some apps, such as Flickr, may take advantage of this feature for large file transfers, but others won't. Waiting for a YouTube video to buffer over a 3G connection? It won't go anywhere unless you're staring at the loading screen.





As far as editing documents or running any sort of business software, come on. Please. Talk about multimedia, web and music (though BB has good MP3 capabilities.) But don't try and flex on things Steve Jobs himself has said are BB's greatest strengths.





If you want a world class messaging device with security and protection so good other less democratic countries are BANNING it, get a BB. If you want a phone that does a few things GREAT vs a bunch of things decently, get a BB. Especially if those few things BB does great are the things you need most. Honestly, BB isn't for everyone. But the reason it still is the largest mobile platform (units sold, market share) is because people need the things BB excels at. At some point I will go android. But because of my work, and what I value most (I prefer not to tap on glass) BB is perfect for me. This irrational hate from people is hilarious.

Do you know what you're talking about? I don't even feel like going into a back and forth about the iphone vs _____ but an app does not need to be up to receive a notification... 
It's not 2008-2009 anymore. iOS4 handled that. But your other points are on.. 

If you want a phone, get what you want. But first know what kind of phone you are getting. The iPhone and BB are two completely different kinds of phones. The iphone is a Multimedia phone. The BB is an emailing smartphone device. The iphone excels at media 100x better than a BB, while a BB excels at push notifications 100x better than an iPhone. BB is TRYING to become something its not. It needs to stick in its lane and leave the music/video/browsing to the phones that are built for that. And the iPhones/androids should just let the BB have its throne as the push king. 

And anyways, how did this thread turn from KIK vs BBM to iphone vs BB? KIK is on all platforms..

webOS notification/multitasking > * if you say otherwise, you're lying to yourself.



and freezing an app in its current state isn't true multitasking. webOS is as close as we'll get to true multitasking until phones become more powerful.



can't wait till the pre2 comes out for verizon, im putting all my eggs in palm/hp's basket.

Yeah, the iPhone doesn't have true multitasking, but it does receive notifications when you are not in an app. 
And I don't know if I'd put all my money on Palm/HP to make that game changing move. As much as I'd like to see it (old treo 650 user), I just don't see that flame anymore. 

We can hope though 

True, it doesn't. And their notifications are mad annoying. I love androids notification bar and webos' notification area. Doesn't get in the way of what you are currently doing.

And I'm rooting for the underdog this time. Loved my treo 600, 650, and 700. WebOS is too nice to just let it die. Let's do this hp/palm

going to preoder pre2 soon as it is available. Droid has been messing up lately (which is odd, since motorola did a hell of a job with it)
