Facebook with iPhone applications
>> Monday, June 13, 2011
Facebook is letting users of its flourishing social-networking
community play together on the road by using Apple's popular iPhone
and iPod Touch mobile devices.
Facebook senior platform manager Dave Morin revealed the news Saturday
while flanked by an array of hip social software makers at a panel
talk at South By Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival in Austin,
Texas.
"For the first time, your iPhone apps can now have friends," Morin
said before panelists demonstrated applications that expand the
borders of Facebook's online community onto iPhones and iPod Touch
devices.
Facebook Connect for the iPhone debuted with nine applications
available at Apple's online iTunes store and a promise that more will
launch in coming days.
Mini software programs tailored to mesh with the Facebook operating
platform let social-networking service users play games with each
other online, share restaurant reviews while on the move, and locate
friends.
Facebook members can use the community-oriented applications through
iPhones as they would if they were connecting through a home computer.
