MySpace and Research In Motion have teamed up to develop a MySpace Mobile application for BlackBerry handsets. It’s due to be available later this year, and will let you access your MySpace profile and contacts on the go, while also using push messaging to get updates to your BlackBerry.
It’s good news for heavy MySpace users, albeit some time behind rival Facebook, whose similar BlackBerry app has been around for a long time now. However, it seems RIM and MySpace will be working together in other ways, such as making a BlackBerry “community page” on MySpace where users will be able to get news, content, videos, games, ringtones and skins for their device.
MySpace is certainly keen on the mobile side of its business. The company says it now gets more than two million daily visitors to its WAP site. The interesting thing in terms of BlackBerry, however, would be if MySpace made it possible to stream music from band profiles to your phone, bringing in that side of the website, rather than just the social networking elements.
