RIM released updates to their in-house Facebook and MySpace apps making them OS 5 compatible. This comes as good news for those who have been tinkering with OS 5 and accessing these sites via the browser as a workaround.
Check out RIM’s official download site and information page for the Facebook and MySpace apps.

Sweet mother Mary, is that an impressive number! Here’s what RIM PR sent me late last night in regards to MySpace for BlackBerry, that social networking application which is so cool with the kids these days.
We wanted to give you a heads up that RIM just found out that the MySpace application for BlackBerry Smartphones has been downloaded more than one million times. The one millionth unique download happened sometime on Saturday December 13th, which makes it a month exactly since the application launched.
I’ve yet to confirm if the amount is a reflection of pure downloads, or includes BlackBerrys pre-loaded with the application, but that is still quite an impressive number in such a short time frame! Check out some relevant MySpace for BlackBerry links below.

Wow. When we announced last week that RIM and MySpace had released the MySpace for BlackBerry application, we knew it was going to be popular, just not this popular. Since the application’s launch on November 13, 2008, there have been more than 400,000 downloads, an all-time high for both MySpace and RIM in terms of first week application downloads. Users have also collectively sent and received more than 15 million messages and updated their mood and status over two million times in the first week.
“This rapid adoption is a reflection of an evolving consumer lifestyle where social connectivity and information access are more important than ever,” said Jim Balsillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer at Research In Motion. “This powerful new mobile application combines social networking and mobility in a highly personalized and empowering manner and we are very excited to see such a positive response in the first week.”

Following up on their hugely popular Facebook application for BlackBerry, RIM has now released MySpace for BlackBerry, allowing users access to one of the largest worldwide social networks. Here’s a look at some of the features:
o Share events and experiences as they happen
o Send and receive MySpace messages from practically anywhere
o Access your Friends List and view status information
o Receive automatic notifications when messages and comments arrive
o Snap a picture with your smartphone’s camera and post it to MySpace with one click
o View your friends’ photos and albums
o Let your friends know your status and mood while you’re on the go
In addition, RIM has launched a BlackBerry Community page on MySpace. It’s great to see RIM offering more consumer-focused applications, but I have one simple request: you’ve made a Facebook application, you’ve made a MySpace application, now please please make one for LinkedIn.

Soocial is a contact management and synchronization service that enables you to sync contacts between computers, smartphones and web applications like Gmail. Soocial also provide tools to manage these contacts, backups, and keeps your current address book in sync and up to date with all your devices. Previously in private beta, Soocial is moving into public beta in a really big way, with an announcement at the Under the Radar conference later today of Outlook support and a BlackBerry client coming in a few weeks.
This move into the BlackBerry/Outlook ecosystem will obviously make it more appealing for business users. Soocial plans to add Windows Live, Yahoo Mail, LinkedIn and iPhone support as well.
To learn more about Soocial, you can watch CEO Stefan Fountain’s presentation at FOWA London, recorded last month.

A friendly reader tipped us off today that RIM has updated their popular social networking application, Facebook for BlackBerry. Facebook version 1.3 doesn’t come with a change log, and doesn’t seem to contain any drastic changes, but an update is still an update. You can download the latest version of Facebook for BlackBerry at the link below:

The Boy Genius got his hands on some slides depicting what RIM’s MySpace application for BlackBerry will look like. Our take is that it looks fairly similar to the BlackBerry Facebook application, and much cleaner than the actual MySpace site. All the basic MySpace functionality is included, with push-notifications and a wireless upgrade option.
If you’re younger than 21, you’ll probably never use MySpace for BlackBerry, but I’m sure it will excite all those new Pearl Flip users. You can see some more photos after the jump.
