Re: Multiple device support missing.

So the problem with hangouts is you need a free account? What, you expect a bunch of disparate devices to seamlessly recognize you without the need for login credentials? Sorry, but I don't think the biometric tech is quite there yet...

BBM has always had a one-to-one ratio, and it used to be hard tied to the PIN. Switching devices 4-5 years ago was a nightmare. Now atleast you get an account that you can use to switch devices easily. BBry's underlying infrastructure would probably need a major overhaul to change that (and god knows they dont have the staff to perform one anymore).

Do what I do, and what most others do, setup a work BBM profile and a personal BBM profile and send both of those, or just use email.

Or if you know something we all don't know about multi-device-interoperability-biometric-magic, create the infrastructure, make an app and get it out there.
