While every app developers out there are busy updating their app, Facebook has been rather quiet and we don’t see any updates to their apps. But now, they’ve dished out an update to their dated app for the Android platform. There are not many changes to the app really. Some minor fixes and the new support for check-ins with Places, Groups, and slight improvement to the notification system.

Wow, this is fast. Just a week ago that we heard about Wi-Fi Direct certification going on, and now we have the first official device to carry that certification, and it’s a product that’s selling millions worldwide. Samsung’s hot-selling Galaxy S smartphone (GT-I9000) is now listed on the Wi-Fi Alliance’s Wi-Fi Direct certification docket, and while we knew that a handful of Wi-Fi modules and chipsets were about to get green-lit, this marks the first actual device to join that crowd.

Then again, these results don’t cover the entire spec, which in itself isn’t even finalized yet, but they provide us with a glimpse into a new era for browsers, where Microsoft actually cares about coders keen on maximizing interoperability by adhering to web-wide standards. That is, if HTML5 goes big.
The electronic industry is a very busy industry. And part of the reason is because everyone’s enjoying itself suing their ‘friends’. Here comes another one, by Google.
