With a such large number of corporate business travelers on the BlackBerry you would expect that they type of application that would drive on the platform would be the travel companion.
This, however, is not the case for KAYAK, a popular travel comparison service, who recently announced that they will no longer support the KAYAK mobile app on the BlackBerry platform.

Rumor has it that the official Twitter for BlackBerry app will join the ranks of BBM Music, Groupon, Foursquare, and others and receive BBM integration.
With Twitter for BlackBerry being connected to BBM, users can share tweets to other BBM users and in groups. In this new update, users can also do auto BBM personal message updates using Twitter for BlackBerry.
There is no official word on with Twitter for BlackBerry will be integrated with the BBM Social Platform, however, a beta release is expected sometime soon…

One week ago to the day we talked about an update to WhatsApp Messenger for BlackBerry that took a bit longer to arrive in BlackBerry App World than we initially thought. We are happy to report, however, that WhatsApp Messenger for BlackBerry v2.7.2330 is now available for download.

We’ve just heard that WhatsApp Messenger for BlackBerry has received a refreshed user interface and will be available in BlackBerry App World very soon.
WhatsApp is arguably the most widely used cross-platform mobile IM client, and, in addition to BlackBerry is available on Android, IOS, Windows Phone, and Nokia Symbian devices.
I know that some BBM die hards will immediately point out that WhatsApp is no replacement for BlackBerry Messenger. I think, however, the point to WhatsApp is that you can use it to communicate with contacts who use smartphone platforms other than BlackBerry.
If you are looking for a good cross-platform mobile IM client, check out WhatsApp Messenger. You can pick it up in BlackBerry App World as well as respective app stores for for other platforms…

BlackBerry App World v3.1 is now available for download in BlackBerry Beta Zone and contains a few new features including Wi-Fi only download support and content ratings.
Unfortunately we must also report that Research in Motion has included the most bass-ackwards implementation of application gift requesting imaginable. Instead of allowing a gift giver to initiate the process of giving of a BlackBerry app to someone, BlackBerry App World v3.1 instead allows users that want gifts to beg for them via BBM.
I can honestly tell you that the first time that I ever receive an unsolicited gift request from a BBM contact will be the last time I ever use BBM and possibly BlackBerry App World. Let’s hope that RIM kills the gift begging feature in BlackBerry App World v3.1 before it becomes officially available, or, at the very least, adds the ability to opt out of being begged by contacts to buy them apps.
