Facebook for Android, which isn’t great but gets the job done as long as you’re not a pro-level Facebook user, has today been updated to version 1.2 – bringing with it more advanced support for messaging that FINALLY lets users access their Inbox and Notifications.
The news of the update was announced, appropriately enough, on the App’s official Facebook page – where users are already giving their feedback. It seems to be crashing quite a bit for HTC Hero / DROID Eris users, and isn’t the sort of feature-packed change people were hoping for.
We’re yet to receive the update, so you’ll have to make do with these rather old promotional photos sent out by the developer to illustrate a previous release.
Bizarrely, Facebook is the one site that’s actually easier to use in a web-based interface – the site’s custom touchscreen portal is super-slick and much more workable than the rather basic Android app.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
