Facebook for Android and iOS updated

Mark Zukerberg, founder of the giant networking site Facebook announced this morning at an Facebook Mobile Event in Palo Alto that updates are available now for Android and iOS leaving Windows Phone out of the equation. Previously, Android users didn't have access to Places or Groups via the Facebook app but is available now at this latest update. Alongside with Places and Groups, this Android Facebook update also improves the Notifications from within the app. The Android app still lacks the Chat feature, something iPhone users can still gloat about. But today's release brings the Android app closer to parity with the iPhone. The iPhone now gets the Groups feature too. But in addition, there's a new look to the News Feed, which now makes it easier to add photos and check-ins, not merely status updates. Within the new Groups feature, similarly, buttons urge users to add photos and/or posts. Both Android and iPhone apps are available for download in the Android Marketplace and Apple App store respectively.
