Facebook for Android updated!

Now the app looks/feels more like the iPhone one that was much better than the android version. (via techcrunch - http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/03/fac...rt-for-events/)

changelog:
An updated homescreen with:
  • The ability to post a status update or search for friends with just one click
  • A new photo reel that enables easy viewing of photos and videos from friends in your News Feed
  • A draggable Notifications drawer where you can easily see if a friend posted a note on your wall, commented or liked a post or tagged you in a photo
    Video playback from the app. Similar to the Facebook for iPhone application, we are using the H.264 baseline profile for encoding videos
    Support for Events. You can now review your upcoming events, read your event details, and even RSVP – all from the application
    Respond to friend requests without leaving the application

Re: Facebook for Android updated!

One thing to note is that this new version stays running in the background and the phone doesn't sleep, which obviously is a battery drainer.

It is a major improvement over the last version though.

I noticed the same exact thing and because of it, removed it.
