Thumbplay Music announced today at CES 2010 that their Thumbplay Music™ application is now available for BlackBerry smartphones in private beta.

Inside BlackBerry was able to snag a few minutes with Spencer, Senior Manager for Business Development at Thumplay, for a quick demo.

One feature that deserves a special call out is the playlist re-creation – a useful way for getting playlists purchased from the iTunes store, similar to BlackBerry Media Sync which allows users to easily port iTunes and Windows Media Player libraries to their smartphones.

Interested in signing for the beta? Go to http://music.thumbplay.com. BlackBerry® Tour™ 9630, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9000 and BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900 are currently supported, and they will be adding more smartphones in the future.
