FaceBook Mobile client for Java

Facebook has started its figthback against Google and its Google+ project. The company has just released a Java-based version of its mobile application, which should extend its reach to just about every mobile platform out there.

The app is compatible with 2,500 Java-enabled phones and gives you access to the most popular features of the social network such as News Feed, Inbox, and Photos and it also enables you to upload photos and find friends from your phone’s contacts. The app should work on just about any platform that didn't have an app already.

Facebook has optimized their new application to use less data, so your cell phone charges don't go through the roof. What's more the company has reached an agreement with several carriers, which will offer free data access to this app for 90 days. That means that you won't have to pay for the data used by the Facebook app for a full three months.



To install this on your mobile phone, just go to d.facebook.com/install in your java enabled mobile phone .
