Facebook Mobile Web iPhone App Now Live - Try it @ iphone.facebook.com

[Gerald Bauer]

Hello,

The Inside Facebook blog reports in a blog story titled
"iphone.facebook.com sets the standard" that Facebook released a
mobile web version for Apple's iPhone.

Note, that iPhone apps just use use standard HTML and JavaScript
and thus run in any desktop browser and in any mobile phone or device
with a built-in browser that can handle Ajax.

Try the app @ http://iphone.facebook.com

What do you think? Does the Facebook app set new usability
standards for mobile web apps?

Cheers,

Gerald

At first the sliding transitions remind me of OS X's panel browsing
mode in Finder. This kind of "slick" motion is certainly in line with
the iPhone's fluid interface...and staying in line with that UI
behavior means less disruption when switching from one iPhone app to
another.

Besides that, I don't see anything with regard to new usability
standards, other than the obvious taking advantage of doing full HTML
& JS development on a phone device.
