Since shifting to an Android device, one of the most sought after app is Facebook. I was delighted to see Facebook in the Android Market, and immediately downloaded and installed it. It was ok until you click on a video or a picture. It links you to your browser and asks for your login information. Coming from iPhone, this was a real disappointment for me, WTF is the Facebook app for, if it links to a browser?
Finally Facebook addressed this problem before I got to remove the app from my phone. The new version features a better looking layout, an integrated photo viewer with commenting but no tagging, a video viewer that links to your phone's media player, and a carousel at the bottom of the home screen that features new pictures or media updates. The controls were a bit different now, to access the home menu, you have to click on Facebook, as the default view is the News Feed portion which gives you just a search button and Facebook.
Just wished chat was already available in it too, to save me some space in installing other third party apps for chat.Over all it was great, can't wait for the next update.
