BlackBerry maker RIM has announced a Facebook app for its tablet device, the PlayBook. This will make the PlayBook the first tablet with a Facebook app, over the all mighty iPad.
The app is said to take full advantage of the 7-inch display of the device. The app will be showcased at the BlackBerry World conference later this week and is expected to be available to users by the end of the month.
Users can find friends easily by going through a new grid view of profile pictures. They will be able upload photos directly from the device to their Facebook account. Users will also be able to browse highlights and notifications such as photo uploads, status updates and view links in the BlackBerry PlayBook browser.
