Facebook recently released a touchscreen optimized interface for phones such as the iPhone and android models. It’s interesting that even though Facebook is one of the most downloaded social networking iPhone apps that Facebook is still continuing to optimize the mobile web on many different fronts.
Considering they just launched their newly redesigned homepage in a more streamlined newsfeed focused way it makes me wonder if this addition is within their overall brand vision for their user interface and user experience.
One thing I DO like about the new Touch interface is the Phone section (Also notice the new notifications red icon in the upper left corner). It focuses on who you can call, as opposed to the mobile interface which focuses on all your friends and pointing out who has their phone number listed with a phone icon.
What do you think about the differences? Not enough? Too much? What other changes should be made?

This application solves that annoying problem of not being able to text message others photos.
Instead of sending the photo straight to your friend’s phone, it sends a link to a web page to see the photo.? This may not be the most ideal answer iPhone users have been looking for but it is a necessary workaround for now. Just remember that you have to check your friend’s photos on a webpage just as well, so now they’ll know exactly what you do to view their photos.
One caveat: Make sure to only have one phone number saved for a contact you intend to use and that it is a mobile phone number or the app will crash.
