MURMER GADGET

Apple has released a newly updated version of its Find My Friends app with an iOS 7-inspired redesign. The app was Apples last consumer-focused app to receive a redesign for iOS 7, though iAd Gallery and iTunes Connect retain their old look-and-feel. Other than the new design, Find My Friends does not appear to have any new features. Last week, Apple released updated versions of iBooks and iTunes U with similar redesigns.

BlackBerry have released an update to their popular BBM app for Android and iPhone. According to Jeff Gardaway, head of product and brand marketing for BBM, BBM now includes a new Find Friends feature that allows you to discover people you know that are also using BBM and invite them to your BBM contact list, from within the app.  The Find Friends feature will detect which contacts in your smartphone’s contact list are already using BBM, and allow you to quickly send them an invite to join your BBM contact list. For those contacts that don’t yet have BBM, you can invite them to download the app with an email or SMS invite. This is not a bad development and update from BlackBerry. However, we are still expecting that promised BBM Channels and Voice for Android and iOS devices to drop, perhaps in the BBM 2.0 that is in the works. You can download the latest BBM update from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store as it applies to you. Like our Facebook page and follow us Twitt...
