RIM shows off native Facebook and Foursquare apps for BlackBerry 10, confirms Twitter and LinkedIn for launch


RIM has had to deal with a few [big names](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/09/google-to-end-support-for-blackberry-gmail-app-this-month/) leaving their BlackBerry apps behind, but it's managed to keep four of the biggest on board for its forthcoming BlackBerry 10 devices. That includes Facebook, which will have a native app that RIM revealed for the first time at today's [BlackBerry Jam Americas conference](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/25/live-from-blackberry-jam-americas-2012/). Not surprisingly, the app itself doesn't look a whole lot different than the Facebook apps for Android or iOS, but it is fully integrated with the OS and promises to take advantage of the new [Flow interface](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/25/rim-unveils-blackberry-10-peek-features/) and features like the BlackBerry Hub. What's more, while it didn't demo them today, RIM also confirmed that BB10-specific LinkedIn, Twitter and Foursquare apps will also be available at launch.

**Update:** RIM did later give a quick demo of the Foursquare app (pictured after the break), which it says was able to be ported to BB10 in a week by just two developers.
