RIM PlayBook To Get Facebook App And Video Chat

Because Apple has such a big lead in the still developing tablet computer market, challengers need their tablets to be different from the iPad in meaningful ways. The PlayBook from Research In Motion (RIM) does that most notably with the dependancy on Blackberry smartphones for email and calendaring functions, and today RIM announced another major difference from the iPad by announcing a Facebook app.


It is worth noting that RIM is the developer of the Facebook app for the PlayBook, just as they developed the Blackberry app, and not Facebook themselves.
