Application Updater App On Homescreen – Have You Seen Me?

Bla1ze over at CrackBerry reported a strange icon appearing after installing OS 5.0.0.586 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700.  It’s called Application Updater, and its homescreen icon looks like a flower.  It says there is an update available with nothing exactly to update.  If any of you have encountered this also or have an idea as to what it may be exactly, drop us a line below.

UPDATE: Our friend Eric from OCK has dropped us a nice comment clarifying some details:

The icon in question is the one in the top left which is the one that is currently in focus (the one with the flower that has the notification on it is just a coincidence and makes the CrackBerry post a lil misleading). But I’ve seen the application updater on so many BlackBerry’s in the past that I don’t know why it is “newsworthy” today over there.
