And so the gradual adding of features to the Android Facebook app continues, with the social network releasing version 1.7 on the Android Market. As well as “improving” the sharing tool and adding the ability to tag friends in photos from your phone, the app now includes a “Pull to Refresh” option, which is always a fun way to mess around with your social app timelines.
Facebook also says the design of the Profiles and Groups pages have been updated. Here’s a generic image, as my phone is about 20 yards away and not charged:
One day, in the very distant future, this app will be finished. Amazing to see its Android Market listing saying Android Facebook has been installed “50,000,00 – 100,000,000″ times.
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.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
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?

/ September 13, 2011app is a lot better for me after this – the notifications actually work. and the quicklink from the notification to actually seeing the messages works ok now too.
it does baffle me how this app is severely underdeveloped and undernourished.
im sure that facebook will release a phone of their own at some point soon, hence the crappy development….not just a half-assed job with a facebook button but a full “Facebook Phone” or “Facephone” or “Facebook 1″ or something…
