The gradual adding of features to the official Android Facebook app continues, with the social network updating its Google app to version 1.6 today. The key new feature is support for video uploads from your phone, plus an “improved” News feed and the ability to view Facebook Pages on your mobile.
We’re only seeing the old 1.5.4 version on the Android Market at the moment, despite what Facebook says – so here are a couple of stock images from an older version:
Maybe we’ll put up some new images of it tomorrow, if it appears on our phone and if it looks any different. Thanks to reader Mark for the tip.
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.

/ June 25, 2011Facebook had a guy working on it but then Google hired him. That is the story they gave last year anyway.

/ June 25, 2011This isn’t an upgrade, it’s a downgrade. Where the previous version worked fine on tablets, the new one can’t be installed on them at all.
Total waste of time.
