iMessage is a newly introduced and long awaited feature of iOS 5, it is Apple’s entry into the world of instant messaging. The new-born IM app is being seen as a rival for BlackBerry Messenger and other instant messaging apps on smartphones, but will Apple use its marketing dominance and vast funds to overshadow its earlier developed opponents. There are talks of it being linked with iChat which is a much similar system for Apple computers, iMessage enables users of the iPad and iPod Touch to ‘join the conversation’ aswell as iPhone users. Jonathan Geller of BGR writes his views on iMessage spurring on a new form of social networking from Apple, could they follow in Google’s path after it recently released Google+ which is Google’s initiative for users to interact with each other on top of GTalk. I think that iMessage will remain fairly low key until the official release of the iPhone 5 when it will rocket and devoted Apple users will be in near constant use of this new feature! Buy and large, friends will interact more through their iPhones, iPods iPads and share even more stories with added media.
