MySpace Comes to BlackBerry

Poor BlackBerry. It used to be the cool kid on the block, the hipster everyone wanted, and all the gadgets wanted to be. But then the iPhone came along, and now BlackBerry is always one step behind. Where the iPhone is riding a fixie with a top-tube pad, the BlackBerry gets around on a mountain bike. With fenders. \

And so it is with applications. The iPhone is all about the FaceBook, whereas BlackBerry has just got around to hooking up with yesterday's hot-thing, MySpace. Download the clanky looking application, called myspace for BlackBerry smartphones, and you'll be able to "share events and experiences as they happen".

BlackBerry even has its own MySpace page (welcome to 2004!) which is typically hard to navigate. Links fire you off to download pages and the BlackBerry store, but there is no way to actually preview any of the "features". If you do manage to navigate the labyrinthine maze and arrive at the support pages, you'll most likely end up at the same error page we did.
