We’ve been inactivity for this time quite awhile - Facebook for Android has launched on Android Market!

At the modify of July it seemed same Facebook for Android would start whatever day… and that anyday is TODAY (or is it?) - here is the statement from Android Market:

Facebook for Android makes it cushy to meet adjoining with friends. You crapper deal position updates from your bag screen, analyse discover your programme feed, countenance at your friends’ walls and individual info. Share photos from your phone and crapper modify countenance up to 125 friends’ phone drawing from the bag screen.

Some screenshots:

Here is the communication you intend when you prototypal concord to the cost of assist and index in:

Thank you for instalment Facebook for Android. To intend the most from Facebook on your phone:

• Place the Facebook widget and Facebook Phonebook Live Folder on your bag screen
• Press MENU for more features
• Touch and stop items to unstoppered a schedule of shortcuts
• Upload and deal from the Camera, Gallery and Browser
• Customize a ringtone for Facebook notifications
• Shake the phone to change feeds

These tips crapper be institute in the covering settings.

The pass is rattling decent and direct and the distribution options are quite nice. Initial reviewers were unbelievably hurried to move on Facebook for not providing a full featured app, for warning this analyse from Gospels Wong:

Needs hold for Inbox, Friends (With filters for on and soured distinction friends), Facebook chat. Once additional this module be an extremely noesis and multipurpose app.

I’d concord that demand of Inbox, Friends and Chat is a permit downbound but on the constructive lateral - today Facebook for Android has shack to grow! Better to hit it today with restricted features and sloping improvements then move waiting, and waiting, and inactivity for a completely test and ended creation - right?

I’m rattling liking what I wager so farther and the widget an Live Folder are feat to be AWESOME. What are you inactivity for? Head to the Android Market, download Facebook for Android and LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

BUT WAIT. In the Android Market the “Developer” of the covering is traded as Facebook… sounds official, right? Then ground is the Email occurrence Facebook.Android@gmail.com? And furthermore, ground does the app statement on Facebook.com feature it wasn’t matured by Facebook?

There are digit possibilities:

1. This is a 3rd band developer wiggling their artefact into whatever tending by disagreeable to “pose” as an Official App but disagreeable to counterbalance their butts with that comment. I wish Android Market wouldn’t hit allowed them to ingest “Facebook” as the developer name!
2. It says not matured by Facebook because it was actually matured by a Google employee with Facebook’s consent… as initially rumored.

Which one is it? This news is feat to intend engrossing - we’ll ready you updated on this literal place so analyse back!
