Facebook Messenger hits BlackBerry



BlackBerry gets Facebook Messenger for first time


Facebook followed up its Messenger iOS 5 update with a for BlackBerry. It shares the same extra-streamlined, chat-focused interface of its Android and iPhone peers with real-time messages, even in the background, and handles group chats with optional locations. The app can pull both the existing Facebook contact list as well as those from the regular contact list that have Facebook accounts.
The new port should keep up with the latest updates and show live typing updates, check which users are on mobile versus the desktop, and support the full suite of languages.

RIM isn't specific on requirements, but the app is known by Electronista to work on BlackBerry 7 devices and is optimized for full-touch models like the Torch 9860. It hasn't yet shown in BlackBerry App World and is only available through the direct link.


Logitech answers the call of duty

Video gaming fans would definitely have heard about the Call of Duty franchise before, and surely many of you out there are huge fans of it. For those who feel that they need to openly declare their allegiance to the franchise, you can always purchase hardware that bears the name of it. Trust Logitech to come up with a couple of accessories for those rocking to a PC as their gaming platform of choice, where you are able to choose from the Logitech Laser Mouse G9X and the Logitech Gaming Keyboard G105, where both of them are respectively the official keyboard and mouse of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, delivering enhanced precision and customization so that you are able to go one up on the competition should your skill levels be nearly on par.
Let us concentrate on the keyboard first – it will sport half a dozen programmable G-keys, where each of them will come with a trio of mode states, allowing you to configure up to 18 possible macro combinations no matter the kind of game you play. Heck, you are even able to record new macros on the fly if you so desire. Boasting an optimized key matrix that was specially designed to enable you to use more keys simultaneously in FPS games, one-touch controls also deliver instant access to volume, start, stop, pause, forward and back functions.
