Better late than never, right? After almost a year (and what a hard year it has been for RIM), the BlackBerry PlayBook is getting all three Angry Birds games: the original, Seasons, and Rio. However, they don't come cheap; all three go for $4.99 a pop, which is a bit steep considering the hits are only 99 cents on iOS and the Kindle Fire and there are the free ad-supported versions. Additionally, the Facebook app, which is free, is getting a refresh. The update includes Groups functionality and improvements that make it easier to view and upload photos and videos. All the new apps are available for download in the BlackBerry App World now, however, still missing is that native email client.
