BlackBerry Messenger for the PlayBook screen shot appears on the AppWorld Page
While doing my daily poke around the forums this morning I notice a thread started about BBM on the PlayBook natively, so instantly my interest was sparked so I checked it out. Inside there was a link to the AppWorld page, which now showcases the photo that is shown above. Whether a photoshop mistake, or a sign of things to come, we are still unsure but we can definitely hope that this...
