Facebook iPhone app 2.1 launches

The original application arrived in the summer of 2008, with a further update - Facebook 2.0 - becoming available in September, reports the BBC.

Its creators say the latest 2.1 version has made significant improvements on previous incarnations.

These include fewer crashes, quicker synch times and fixing bugs - including one which sometimes caused the screen to go blank.

It's already one of the most popular applications for the iPhone, with 4.5 million users having made the most of the fact that it's free to download.

The trend of using Facebook on mobiles is growing. The site's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg says more than 20 million people now use them to get access to it.
