BlackBerry Goes Web 2.0 with Facebook App
October 29, 2007 – 9:30 amFirst the iPhone. Now the BlackBerry… FaceBook continues to rule the mobile Web 2.0 world.
FaceBerry or BlackBook. Whatever combo-name is used, Research In Motion’s new application for Facebook on the BlackBerry moves the company’s popular mobile device further into the Web 2.0 world.
The free, downloadable application from RIM allows streamlined, mobile access to Facebook, which has been recreating itself in recent months as a platform for social-networking applications.
Demonstrated by RIM founder Mike Lazaridis and Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz at the CTIA Wireless show in San Francisco earlier this week, the Facebook app will first appear as a native addition to BlackBerry handsets offered through T-Mobile.
