Android Wear gets BBM

At CES2015, the BBM team showed off support for BBM on Android Wear smartwatches. Here are some of the conveniences that BlackBerry says BBM for Android Wear brings:

Without touching your phone you can:

– See who a new message is from and read it – while loading grocery bags into the back of your car;

– Review and accept invites from would-be BBM contacts while on the go;

– Flip through several messages to find that one with the address you’re looking for – while carrying a coffee;

– Pick from a list of pre-defined messages to quickly send a response – while in a meeting (or class);

– Use your voice and Google Now to respond to messages hands-free.

The BBM Android Wear app for smartwatches will be publicly available soon.
