An updated Facebook application for Research In Motion’s PlayBook tablet now comes with the version v1.0.5 update for the device.

RIM claims it has the first tablet-optimized Facebook application.

While a number of third-party iOS and Android developers may challenge that statement, it is true that it is the first Facebook tablet app developed by either a hardware vendor or Facebook itself.

The big new Facebook for Playbook feature is the ability to upload video files.

Other enhancements, as described on RIM’s own blog, are:

  • Better search capabilities
  • Improved access to pages
  • Message deletion
  • Upload photos to specific albums
  • Enhanced news feeds
