Users of the WordPress app for BlackBerry will want to update… a new version has been released! Sure, WordPress for BlackBerry is still in Beta, but the latest version brings the app to 0.9.0.175.

The good folks at PreCentral have managed to get their hands on some pretty darned good pictures of the GSM Palm Pre… from Germany.
