Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    T-Mobile USA has been chosen as the first carrier to provide the new software to its customers, RIM said on Wednesday.

    The application will let users receive Facebook notifications and messages automatically and scroll through them quickly, just like the e-mail service for which the BlackBerry is already well known. Users can also read and compose messages even while off line, RIM said.

    The feature that lets users upload photos to Facebook will also be integrated with the BlackBerry's camera and photo management software, RIM said.

    RIM has been expanding its offering of so-called "lifestyle applications" like games and multimedia in a bid to attract more retail users to the traditionally business-focused BlackBerry.
