[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/bbm-for-android.jpg](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/05/bbm-caught-cheating-with-android-crackberry-epidemic-to-spread/) [RIM's](http://www.engadget.com/tag/rim/) killer BlackBerry feature has always been [BBM](http://www.engadget.com/tag/BlackBerry%20Messenger/). So, you'll have to excuse us if we give some side-eye to these leaked shots of the private messaging service [two-timing its Canadian maker](http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/03/rim-preparing-to-bring-bbm-to-ios-and-android-change-everything/). The pics over on *TechnoBuffalo*, supposedly obtained by a RIM employee, show off the [BBM for Android](http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/17/rim-extending-tools-to-other-smartphone-platforms-going-cross-p/) app in question running on a crude developer phone. Not much can be glimpsed from the set aside from the application's icon and account interface. It could all be a slick hoax, or maybe the Waterloo-based co. really does plan to release its prized service into greener Android pastures. We'll let you know for sure when we hit up [DevCon](http://www.engadget.com/tag/blackberry+devcon/) later this month.
