Microsoft has released developer tools for the creation of optimized Facebook applications on Windows Mobile. See the developer tools here. The good thing about these tools is the integration with pretty much all the Windows Mobile applications themselves, so you’ll be able to let your Facebook apps take advantage of mobile media-sharing, contacts synchronization, and Outlook integration.
That makes it easier on the consumer end for the real-life utilization of certain applications found on Facebook. Either way, Facebook apps can ow be better optimized for use on Windows Mobile, but the benefit of this set of APIs is the option for a deeper integration.
We can expect to see similar tools for developers for Google’s own mobile offerings, with OpenSocial integration for the applications that will be made available on Google’s mobile platform. You may also recall that Facebook, which now has APIs for building mobile applications, has also been optimized for Blackberry use, continuing the spurred innovation we saw come about earlier this year with the release of the iPhone.
