I'm sorry but how is this patentable : "I haven't read the Statement of Claim outlining RIM's allegations against Kik yet, but I suspect that the patent at issue covers a messaging platform that provides sent, delivered, read, and typing indicators."
Having family work at their Waterloo head office leaves me torn and full of questions. Even though I don't own a RIM phone, I handled their Storm and it's rock solid. The feel is much better my 3G test phone or couple of Android phones, but as a developer I choose to support companies based on merit. RIM just came down a notch in my book.
I compared Kik on my Android and the BBM on the Storm. I would be flabbergasted to find out the Canadian courts would allow this claim to play out.
