Review: Facebook 2.0 for iPhone Minnesota

Accessing Facebook on your iPhone has improved with the 2.0 version of the app, although it could still use a few tweaks.

Best Face Forward: Among the many changes in the improved Facebook 2.0 for the iPhone and iPod touch is the ability to tag and caption photos.

The latest version adds the ability to see and accept-or, if you prefer, ignore-friend requests; notifications of posts on your wall or pokes, for example; and access to the full news feed-top stories, status updates, photos, posted items, and the like. The Show Older Stories button at the end of some of those windows has a bug that just duplicates the most recent item at the bottom instead of given you older content. And despite all these other additions, you still can't search for and invite people to be your friends via the mobile version of Facebook.

Your inbox now contains all of your sent and received messages, regardless of their origin (mobile app or Web site). It doesn't sync status with the Web site-if you read a message online, the iPhone app will still show it as a new message-but the addition makes it easier to follow conversations. You can now view message attachments as well.

For pictures, you can now tag and caption photos, as well as post photos to your friends' Walls directly from your iPhone.

Using the app felt a little snappier than before, although I did encounter a few crashes. All in all, it's a fine update to the previous version, but it still could use a bit more refinement.

Facebook is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.0 software update.
