Blackberry and Facebook connect…

Apologies if you have already seen this elsewhere, but I thought it worth listing (especially because I just installed the app on my BBerry!). There are a bunch of features available, as Facebook states on their site:
Facebook for BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) smartphones gives you wireless access to:
- Home screen notifications so you know when you have a new Facebook event (like a new wall post or message)
- The full text of new messages or wall posts, who’s poking you, new photo tags and friend requests
- Your status and the status of your friends
- All of your Facebook friends
- Photo-sharing – simply snap a picture with your BlackBerry smartphone’s camera, then post it to Facebook with one click; you can even tag your friends
- The Facebook experience you’re already familiar with, optimized for and integrated with your BlackBerry smartphone
You can also take a look at things from the BlackBerry perspective, here.
Personally I think it’s a neat little app, giving you the kind of quick access you want when on the move. By my reckoning, that now brings the number of platforms that Facebook is available on to at least four:
- Web(site)
- Mobile (site)
- iPhone-optimised (site)
- BlackBerry (application)
Could there be more on the way…….?
