Facebook has obviously been a roaring success on BlackBerry, but MySpace still has a huge number of users – luckily, an official, integrated app is in the works, and should be due out shortly. Claiming it will be delivering “rich content and data”, make you wonder how big of a role MySpace Music and TV will play in their mobile strategy. MySpace has been making the rounds on plenty of venues, like Verizon and Rogers, but native BlackBerry apps have a really nice way of introducing new services while still maintaining the same distinct BlackBerry feel (home screen alerts, same shortcuts as the Messages function, for example). I’ll be sticking with Facebook, but choice is always welcome.
