RIM has announced a new version of the Official BlackBerry App for all BlackBerry devices running OS 6.0. The new version brings in a lot of feature additions that includes support for Facebook Chat, an improved news feed and a revamped UI. This is the first major update to the app since the first version of the same was developed by RIM well over two years ago. The App is currently in Beta – and for the same reason, you might come across a few bugs .Other new stuff includes an unobtrusive, drop down navigation bar that doesn’t eat in to the screen real estate when not wanted. You can invoke it whenever you want it though.
The new version also changes the way the profiles of your friends look like. Things like contact info, birthday, relationship status and the usual wall posts and status updates are now visible and well laid out.
Like we said, as of now, only devices running OS 6 would be able to us this. However, there is a version in the pipeline for devices running OS 4.6 and above. Diwn load the new version from here
