So you saw the post on the new Microsoft Facebook Application and you are probably asking what is it like. Well Remo Knops from MobilityMinded has posted a step-by-step overview of the Microsoft Facebook application.
Remo says that if you are a Facebook user, who uses a Windows (Mobile) Phone this is a must have application. He gives the following as some of his early thoughts:
- Microsoft provides one single cab-installer of the application, which installs without problems on Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Standard devices.
- The user experience on Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Standard devices is the same as a result of a good clear and intuitive structure.
- The blue / light blue / grey colorscheme gives a real Facebook look and feel. Almost the same structure as the Facebook webinterface, really contributes a lot to this feeling.
- The interface has a really clever design: (tab 1) news aggregation and overview, (tab 2) personal details and profile, (tab 3) your Facebook Friends, (tab 4) messaging and written communication with your Facebook Friends, (tab 5) phonebook, to easily call your Facebook Friends.
- The structure of the userinterface has clear transition from information overview towards communication and interaction, in other words: “interacting on a social level”.
