It looks like BlackBerry News for PlayBook just got updated to version 1.1.  In this update, we see a few new features including Portrait mode support.  In my opinion, I believe all native BlackBerry PlayBook apps should be supported in portrait mode.  Any way, here’s the full change log for BlackBerry News for PlayBook v1.1:

• Portrait mode support for all screens
• “Read” articles are marked as such
• “New” content indicator on home screen
• Ability to update channels through data tethering
• Ability to switch channels in magazine view
• In the article view, ability to go to previous/next article
• View a feed immediately after subscribing to it
