@saucewear let me know about an article by atu2.com where BlackBerry’s U2 application plans have been revealed!

The last time we heard about the U2 application for BlackBerry was in early April, at which time all that was known was that BlackBerry would be sponsoring the U2 360 Tour.

BlackBerry has just created a dedicated U2 page where you can watch a teaser video and sign up to be notified when the U2 Mobile Album application for BlackBerry is available.

So far the U2 Mobile Album will have five sections:

• Album (No Line On The Horizon)
• News
• 360 Tour
• Who’s Listening
• Gallery

The U2 Mobile Album application will allow you to listen to the album, watch U2 music videos, view/share photos and read news from U2.com. In addition, you will also be able to see other concert attendees via a stadium map right on your BlackBerry!
