Well, that pretty much wraps up (and batters to death) any hope of overcoming your CrackBerry addiction: a dedicated Facebook app for the berrilicious mobile email handsets of choice. The press release goes like this:
‘The rich, native application goes beyond browser-based access, automatically pushing notifications to the user’s BlackBerry smartphone as friends and colleagues send notes, Wall posts or pokes. The application allows users to take a photo, upload it to the site with captions and tags; quickly and easily invite friends; manage events; manage photo albums; and manage their status while on the go.’
The combination of instant ‘pushed’ updates from Facebook to BlackBerry is bound to be a winning combination. The Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones (to give it its full name) app is arriving in the States first, via T-Mobile USA, but we expect to see it rolled out worldwide in fairly short order.
However, with thousands of BlackBerry users already addicted to their handset’s email functions, will the addition of this Facebook app mean that social networking has just become a whole lot more anti-social?
