Facebook Connect web platform has been extended to iPhone apps. Through Facebook Connect, you are able to access your facebook contacts through iPhone apps supported by it.
Potentially in line with the iPhone 3.0 firmware update out tomorrow, the added abilities to interact with your friends through your iPhone is really exciting. Ongoing support and developments will be interesting to watch, more so with the developers needing to get contracts and the like in order for Year 2 of the iPhone app.
A few examples: You are able to use your Facebook account to find places to meet your friends using maps on Whrrl. Other options include challenging your friends to play Agency Wars, Binary Game, iBowl, Live Poker and Tap Tap Revenge 2. Other examples include using Facebook Connect with the Urban Spoon application. Once connected, you can see which restaurants your friends have reviewed on the iPhone as you are walking to dinner and share your thoughts afterwards. There will be more Facebook enabled applications available in the near future within the Apple App Store!
