Just the other day we saw Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones receive an update, and today an update for Facebook for the BlackBerry PlayBook is rolling out. While this update is also a minor one, any update that fixes issues that we are seeing is always welcomed. In todays update we see a fix for crashes that occurred while viewing comments and likes on various posts. Head into App World and grab the update, and let us know if the update fixes things for you!
We all know that Facebook for BlackBerry is a hit or miss, depending on the user, but today the folks have released an update to address some issues that users were seeing. Many of us, myself included, got stuck with a timeline that wouldn’t refresh or once the application was launched, it would just freeze up — sometimes to the extent that a battery pull was needed. The update to version 2.0.0.45 should address both of these issues and probably some others that they didn’t list, but either way be sure to hop onto App World and grab the update now.

This may come as a shock considering how seriously Facebook takes your privacy, but if you’re a Facebook user with one of Facebook’s mobile applications installed on your iPhone or one of several other smartphones, you’ve been robbed. Each and every contact stored on your phone is probably now also stored on Facebook’s servers, as was re-re-rediscovered by Facebook users this past week. Whether or not people in your contact list even have Facebook accounts, their names and phone numbers are likely now in Facebook’s possession. There is probably a clause buried deep within Facebook’s terms and conditions that makes this invasion of your privacy OK on paper, but odds are still pretty good that it’s not OK with you. Complete instructions outlining how to remove all of your contacts’ phone numbers from your Facebook account can be found below. Whether or not the data will be completely wiped from Facebook’s servers is unclear, but we’ll leave that for the lawyers to figure out.

After the release a few days ago of Facebook 2.0 for the PlayBook encountered certain errors, BlackBerry has released a new update to fix those bugs for all Facebook users out there. Nothing else is new in this new version so if you haven’t done so already fire up your PlayBook and look for the update in App World.
Just two days ago Facebook got a big update for both phones and the BlackBerry PlayBook. Today there is another small update for the PlayBook app to v2.0.0.986. No word of what’s changed or is new in this version, but it’s safe to assume that it’s just small tweaks and bug fixes. You should be prompted to install the update (if you haven’t already) through BlackBerry App World. You can check out more on the release of Facebook 2.0 in our original post.

Oftentimes, when we discuss BlackBerry applications for our daily post, we’re featuring premium applications. There are some free applications mixed in there, but typically the free applications don’t get as much airtime. We’re going to overcompensate for this by listing a ton of free apps. How many? To be honest, I never counted. I just compiled a list and put them in some discernible order. If you’re ever on the hunt for BlackBerry applications, or know someone looking to fill her Berry with freebies, make sure to check out what follows.
