While we’re waiting for Facebook’s official application for Android tablets, Platinum Apps launched facedroid, allowing tablet owners to cyber-schmooze on their beloved devices. As you can imagine, the app takes advantage of the extra screen estate to show more information on a single screen.
Using the facedroid app, you’ll be able to access the most common Facebook features, including:
- Share status updates
- Comment, like and tag statuses and photos
- See what your friends are doing
- Write on friend’s walls
- Chat in real-time
- Send and receive messages
- Search your list of friends and check out their wall posts, photos and videos
- See and respond to notifications like friend requests, event invitations and birthdays
In addition, support for Places and Pages is in development as we speak. Once released, you will be able to Check-in to locations and see where your friends are, and to manage all of your Facebook Pages from the comfort of you couch/sofa.
At the moment, facedroid is optimized for Android Honeycomb tablets with the Ice Cream Sandwich update set to be released soon…
