Facebook App For The BlackBerry PlayBook Updated With Facebook Groups & Improved Media Access

By Mauricio

RIM today let me know they’ve updated the Facebook app for the BlackBerry PlayBook with a few new features. It’s been a while since the app was last updated, today’s update being the first with new features since its launch. Here are the changes for version 2.1:

• Facebook Groups – Share and interact with groups on the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. View groups you are members of; post updates, photos and videos; view profiles of group members and send messages; get notified of new group posts and interactions.
• Improved Media Access – Easily view friends’ photos and videos from users’ Profiles with the added new photo and video buttons. The photo and video uploading capabilities are also now more apparent on the Photo tab. Simply click the Photos or Videos button to upload the corresponding media type.
