Facebook for Android updates to 2.1, gains inbox support

Facebook for Android got an update yesterday, bringing the application up to version 1.2. The major change within was the integration of Facebook messaging right into the UI, letting users browse their inbox messages instead of sending them to the mobile browser. As a fan of less reliance on mobile sites whenever possible, I approve this change.

Other notes include the removal of the ability to directly upload photos straight to Facebook from within the app; this may seem like a big deal, but with Android’s ability to “Share” photos (to Facebook and elsewhere) straight from the gallery, this isn’t that big of a loss.
