RIM releases Facebook for BlackBerry PlayBook app

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

RIM made good on its promise to start offering 'essential' apps for the two week old BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet by releasing the first official Facebook app designed for a tablet. The FaceBook for BlackBerry PlayBook is the only tablet-specific application (Android and iOS are using ill-fitting blown-up versions of their smartphone counterparts). The Facebook app was built by RIM using Adobe Air and Adobe Flash technology.
