Just two days ago Facebook got a big update for both phones and the BlackBerry PlayBook. Today there is another small update for the PlayBook app to v2.0.0.986. No word of what's changed or is new in this version, but it's safe to assume that it's just small tweaks and bug fixes. You should be prompted to install the update (if you haven't already) through BlackBerry App World. You can check out more on the release of Facebook 2.0 in our original post.

Facebook for BlackBerry PlayBook updated to v2.0.0.986
Nice!!! Primero!!
first thing it asks me when starting the application is for access to GPS to use in location settings !!!
Be sure to delete your existing version, and then install the new version or you'll get two icons
If you have two icons, simply press and hold the old icon and then press the garbage can icon below it to delete.
not 2 icons in the "All" menu, two icons in App World > My World, least there were a restart cleared it out for me
oops, looks like there are 2 in the "all" menu and only one in My World ... hmmm
I was getting two FB icons as well!
I noticed in forums that few people were reporting facebook crashing and asking for restart of app. I personally didn't face the issue and enjoying the upgrade :)
May be this update fixes that issue.
Overwriting duplicate comment.
When are we gonna get FB Video Chat :?
I'm waiting for that as well...
The one thing I noticed since downloading this update last night is that I can now upload a video successfully to facebook. Before I updated, it would say that it's been uploaded, but in the end it never posted to my news feed.
im hoping that portrait mode will be introduced soon!

For me additional to the request of permitting the GPS usage, the Facebook App starting again to support another language, because since the previous Os version (the 1.XX.41, sorry I do not remember the middle numbers :P) the App do not support the buttons labels in another language different to English.
This error was present in the ver 2.0, but with this update the App was starting to support Spanish again!
