These updates follow the BlackBerry Services update that rolled out earlier, so if you missed that previously, you will also see it available as well. It's nice to see these apps updated regularly. I look forward to more future refinements. Once you get the updates installed yourself, let us know if there's any further improvements not mentioned above.
