Facebook for Palm webOS: You asked for it, you got it
We heard two things from you after we launched Facebook for Palm webOS 1.1 back in March: You really liked the new features, and you wanted more. Since then, there's been a great dialog - everything from your latest feature wishlists and bug reports, to explanations of some of the gnarly techie details our developers have faced - on our Facebook page dedicated to the app.
For the more adventurous among you, we maintain a beta version of the webOS Facebook app, as well as the “official” release and we love the feedback we get on the beta version. For example, version 1.2.30 of the beta app was the first version to support selectable feeds. Within an hour of its release, Kris Venden told us that he'd like the app to remember his most recently selected feed between launches. Our team agreed, implemented that feature later that day, and released the updated 1.2.32 version a couple of days later.
Today, Facebook for Palm webOS 1.3 is available. The new official release includes dozens of new features and and enhancements, many of which were prompted or refined by all of you. Highlights include selectable feeds, comments in the feed, photo tagging, landscape mode, clearing multiple notifications at once, and lots of performance enhancements. Want more details? Click here. (Or better yet, click here to download or update the app right now!)
Special thanks to the Palm webOS community for making ours the highest-rated Facebook app on any smartphone. We couldn't have done it without you!
