According to the latest BlackBerry Connection Newsletter, Research In Motion is working on enterprise applications for Twitter and LinkedIn.

The LinkedIn one seems like a natural fit and you’ll be able to send messages, check status updates, and do what you expect from this type of program. It’s interesting that Twitter is also being put into this category, and it shows just how far the service has come in such a short time. I don’t think there’s much doubt anymore that Twitter can be an effective business tool and this move just cements that sentiment. The Twitter app looks like it will enable you to tweet, search, direct message, retweet and more.

No word on what RIM means by “almost here,” but it shouldn’t take too long to roll out. Oh, follow us at @Intomobile and me at @marinperez.
