the facebook app from microsoft pretty much sucks, no push updates or anything like the fb apps on blackberry, iphones, and the android platforms. Anything better than the official microsoft version?

i noticed theres several different twitter apps so i was wondering are there several diff facebook apps?

I use FIM (mosko.mobi) since it connects to Facebook chat and also does the mobile website.

you can try the touch version of the mobile site. kinoma play also has a facebook app within it, but its not really anything better than what microsoft has to offer. but then again, its all a matter of opinion.

We call the current version of the Facebook app "Facebook Media", because it's focused on viewing and posting pictures and status updates.

What makes it better for that purpose than any other Facebook client (for any phone) is the integration with other services. You can post to Facebook from anywhere, and to anywhere that Kinoma Play supports.

Example: You can post pictures to Facebook from Twitter, Flickr, Picasa, Kinoma Guide, your phone, iDisk, any WebDAV server and even your home PC (if you're using Orb) -- if you can view it, you can post it.

Similarly, you can send pictures from Facebook to Twitter, Flickr, Picasa, etc.

Hope that's helpful,
