As always, there doesn’t seem to be a change log or anything remarkable at all in these versions, but they are available to download.  These IM clients got ripped from the latest OS 6.0.0.570 for the BlackBerry Torch 9800.  It looks like GTalk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Windows Live Messenger are all v2.5.81, while AIM is v2.5.78.  If you spot anything in these versions, drop us a line!

• Download AIM v2.5.78
• Download GTalk v2.5.81
• Download Yahoo! Messenger v2.5.81
• Download Windows Live Messenger v2.5.81

The devices haven’t released yet, but somehow an OS for each of them has surfaced the web.  We’ve seen it happen in the past before, and I guess hybriders may have fun with this.  Other than that, if you’re fortunate enough to be holding one of these unreleased devices at the moment, you can try the OS out.  We’ve got all three download links available below.

Not sure how accurate this is, but based on BBNews.pl, this is a leaked screenshot of BlackBerry App World 3.0.  Last week we were rumored on its details, but haven’t seen any screenshots for it until now, assuming this is real of course.  According to the image, it looks like there will be carrier pushed applications as we see here AT&T Exclusives as a category.  It’s similar to what we’ve seen with Market for Android devices.  There’s always a section that’s carrier oriented.  I’ve seen it on T-Mobile at least.

So what do you make out of this App World 3.0?

Last time we had OS leaks, it went around to several different devices for a little while.  Then it all suddenly came to an end, and now we’re back once more.  This one’s for the BlackBerry Torch 9800.  The latest official OS for the Torch is 6.0.0.546, but now we have a 6.0.0.570 leaked out.  Keep in mind it’s a leaked version so download and install at your own risk!

The concept of having data on a cloud can be awesome. With the cloud you can upload and share files with others at any time. One site that is commonly used is  box.net. With box.net you can upload and share files regardless if its for business, personal or for school projects. I decided to check to see if I could access it on the PlayBook. Not only was I able to log into my Box account, but I was able to access my files, as well as download files directly to my PlayBook. The best part is the ability to  upload files from your PlayBook to your box.net account.

I went searching around App World on my PlayBook to try and find a BrickBreaker style game, since BlackBerry hasn’t released one for the PlayBook. I came across The Core. The Core is a zero gravity game that is played in space. It’s an asteroids meets brickbreaker where you have to destroy the layers around the planet to get to it’s core. This game has a very real feel to it and very enjoyable.

Who cares right? I still think it’s cool that the BlackBerry PlayBook gets its publicity on TV, even in music videos.  We’ve seen it in the Black Eyed Peas music video “The Time,” and that was a pretty big deal since the tablet was not even released yet.  Pitbull’s music video “Give me everything” features the BlackBerry PlayBook real quick at the 1:40 mark really quick, for those who want to check it out after the jump!

The BlackBerry PlayBook finally supports BBM, as RIM announced it last week at BlackBerry World 2011.  It’s definitely a work in progress as it works a little sluggish and still doesn’t support groups.  During the conference we saw a decent amount of people using BBM on their PlayBooks with their BlackBerry smartphones in their pockets.  So we want to know how you guys use it.  Cast your votes in the poll, drop us a line in the comments, or tweet us!
