Facebook for Android gets an Update

Facebook for Android smartphones gets a facelift with better Looks, Speed, Better UI and something totally Different and new. They say that apps for Android are old models and cannot compete with the Apple apps for twitter and facebook. Who would say it after getting their hands on the totally new and rocking upgrades.

The upgrade is given the version 1.8.0.
As soon as its updated, you can opt to view a small tour which gives you a lil' info about what it is.

The pic you see below is the menu. You get all that you want from your profile to the friends list to the groups you are in and the pages you have liked. There is a search bar on the top of the menu which allows you to search for anything like people, pages, groups etc with ease.

There are three icons on the top as visible in the pic below. The first one shows if you have any new friend requests, the second one directs you to messages and the third one is for the notifications. Now the interesting part is the way these are made. Sweet. Just click on any one of them and you get a small window which shows the latest things like the requests, notifications and messages which opens on top of your original page. So you wont have to go back looking for where you were before you went to the notifications page. Look at the screenshot below.

 The facebook app has always been slow on usual 2G networks but this one beats all the critics of Facebook app for Android. Try it to feel it.
