RIM has just announced that the recently released MySpace app for the BlackBerry has been a record breaking success. The app was originally made available just one week ago on November 13, and since then it has seen more than 400,000 downloads.

According to Jim Balsillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer at Research In Motion;

“This rapid adoption is a reflection of an evolving consumer lifestyle where social connectivity and information access are more important than ever.”

And how true that statement is, it seems that those 400,000 downloads allowed users to send and receive more than 15 million messages and also update their mood and status a whopping two million times. I guess despite the previous availability of a Facebook app, there were still plenty of users itching to get on MySpace.
