First Look video: Facebook for iPhone and iPod Touch 2.0

by Jessica Dolcourt

Facebook's first attempt to migrate its vast social networking hub to an iPhone-optimized Web app was a success.

Watch the First Look video for a close-up view of the navigation and functionality, and see how Facebook chat on iPhone dominates the original online version. Also find out why this condensed application might actually be easier to use than Facebook.com, and finally, see what's missing from an otherwise excellent app.
