The official Android Facebook app has seen yet another update today, with the app hitting v1.4 and including support for two of the company’s big new recent announcements – Places and Groups.
Here’s Facebook’s description of what’s new and different and possibly a bit better then before, which was posted, appropriately enough, on the app’s Facebook page:
Hi folks, an updated Facebook for Android app (1.4.0) is now available for download. New features include:
- Groups: share posts with small groups of friends
– Places: share where you are with friends, see where friends are, discover places nearby
– Improved notifications: view comments and updates within the app
And here’s what it looks like, complete with new scroll-up-able Notifications area (right). Apologies for the possibly unsettling slight glimpse into my actual life.
The same thing but slightly different. There’s no way on earth I’ll be using Facebook Places, either, mainly because I only ever go to two places. Facebook for Android 1.4 is up on the Android Market now.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

Does this mean that the recent semi-lull on twitter.com/sexyexecutive was due to paternity leave?

/ November 3, 2010I ran out of jokes. I’ve made a joke about every office scenario and piece of equipment I can think of.
And yes, there is a bit more sick and poo in the house than usual.
