I read an interesting post over on Engadget Mobile today about how Google has a plan to overcome Android’s 256 MB application storage limit. BlackBerry users are all too familiar with having virtually unlimited storage for media on removable micro SD cards but very little memory, 128 MB or less on most BlackBerry devices, to actually store and run applications from. The issue isn’t quite as dire for Android users as it is for BlackBerry users. Only core application files need to reside within internal memory in Android. The BlackBerry, however, requires that entire applications be installed to internal memory. Why does all this matter?

There have been rumors of a native Twitter for BlackBerry client floating around for some time now. We haven’t heard much about it lately, however, CrackBerry.com has come across what possibly could be the first recognized tweets from the Twitter for BlackBerry client being worked on by Research in Motion. In the image above note that each of these tweets comes from an application named Twitter for BlackBerry . Clicking on the application name takes you to http://blackberry.com/twitter. This page currently lands you on a 404 page, however, on can envision that being the url for an official Twitter for BlackBerry client once released.
