Announced in 2010, the BlackBerry Developer Conference last fall, BBM Social Platform has just become available for third party developers interested in beta. Of course, we may hope that opens up to other BlackBerry Messenger (read: non-BlackBerry) through API platforms ... but yes, that is not happening yet. In contrast, the SDK enables people developing for BlackBerry OS to integrate the capabilities of BBM in their own applications, and the capability list is extensive: you will be able to read and update user profiles, chats BBM integrated into your application, and transfer files, just to name some of the big (with permission, of course). The current beta version works for Java applications, while RIM is hard at work developing a new version for release in April will add WebWorks web application compatibility.
