Research in Motion has announced via Inside BlackBerry that Facebook for BlackBerry v1.9 with support for Facebook Places will be available on BlackBerry App World in North America within the next 24 hours.  Facebook Places provides location based check-in services similar to Foursquare, Gowalla, Google Latitude, and other social check-in applications…

With Facebook Places, you can use your BlackBerry smartphone to conveniently share where you are, what you’re doing, and who you’re with. While you are checking in, you can tag a friend and include a comment to let your friends know what you’re up to. You can also see where your friends are and what they’re doing.
