Some good news coming out of RIM as they will update the official Facebook for BlackBerry app. Version 2.0 will be launching tomorrow in the App World and will bring the following changes/improvements:

Facebook Chat – Facebook Chat is fully integrated with BlackBerry smartphones, so users can start a conversation within the Facebook app or right from the message list on their device. Users never need to worry about missing a chat message since they’ll be notified of new chat messages even when they’re not using the Facebook app.

Brand New User Interface – Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones features a sleek new design which includes a new navigation grid, a notifications bar that borrows from the BlackBerry 6 “Today View” which summarizes all Facebook notifications, Messages, Friend Requests and Chats all in one handy location, and enhanced profile viewing.

WiFi Support – Users can stay connected with friends and enjoy the full functionality of the Facebook app for BlackBerry smartphones while in a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Core Integration – Facebook for BlackBerry is integrated with the BlackBerry message list, BlackBerry Contacts app, BlackBerry calendar, BlackBerry browser, and is now also integrated with BBM.

Redefined Notifications – Users will now be notified of polled items (notifications that aren’t delivered through BlackBerry push technology), such as ‘Likes’ and Event Wall posts.

The Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S II 4G successfully launched in Canada last week, no word on how many were sold but it’ll certainly add to the global sales numbers. Samsung sold 1 million of the Galaxy S II in 30 days, then gained momentum as a confirmed statement by Samsung on July 3rd said they reached a record setting 3 million devices sold in just 55 days. Now,  according to rumours around the web is an unconfirmed report from Samsung stating that an astonishing 6 million Galaxy S II units have been sold worldwide in less than 3 months. Remarkable numbers for this thin 4.3-inch device.

Just a month after a disgruntled employee accused RIM’s managers of failing to make bold decisions, the latter have responded by boldly sacking 11 percent of their workforce. The company says it will notify affected employees in North America and some other countries this week. It also announced a number of changes to its executive team, with Thorsten Heins taking on the expanded role of COO, Product and Sales. Other personnel changes were generally confined to sales, marketing and operations, which leaves us wondering what, if anything, will change in the way RIM comes up with new products.
