Steps to Download & Install Latest Facebook for Android on Xperia X10
———————————
If you are a Xperia X10 Owner, i would strongly suggest you to have this update for your phone. Your Xperia X10 won’t show the Update in the Android Market for some unknown reason. 🙁
So, you need to go to Android Market and search for ” Facebook for Android ” ( without quotes ) and then install the LAtest version on your Xperia X10. On Clicking the install version it will prompt you to replace the old Version V1.2.0 with the Latest Version V1.3.0. If it doesn’t prompt for the replacement, then perhaps you are not installing the Official Facebook for Android!
Although, chat is still missing in this App update, this update is a must have for all Android owners! 🙂
Stay tuned for more interesting apps for your Xperia X10 and other android devices. And do join us on Facebook to not miss an Update from our side.

If you have the latest Facebook for Android on your Xperia X10, then you might have noticed a Film strip at the bottom of the app, which does display all the latest images and videos uploaded by your friends. And when you click on it, it would play in the Facebook itself, won’t direct you to any other app or browser. 🙂
