Are facebook apps free for an iPod touch?

[Brit07]

I'm getting ready to buy and iPod touch, and I don't really understand a few things.

1.) Is there a difference between browsing facebook using your wifi connection and using an app for facebook? (i.e. if they are different, do they look different on the screen?)

2.) If so, are there different apps for facebook? Are they free? Are some better than others?

If someone could clarify it would be much appreciated!

yes it is free, and the difference in that they look different because the wi-fi version is for mobiles, the app is for iphone/ipod touch users

Yes. The Facebook app is free of cost. It is different from accessing Facebook from your Wi-Fi connection and using it on your iPod touch. Apple iPod touch has a new interface with multi-touch navigation and accelerometer (screen will be changed to landscape mode when you tilt your iPod touch) and VoiceOver accessibility etc. With the release of the Facebook 3.0 for iPod and iPhone, you can now tag your photos, add them to your page and replace your profile photo at will. You can also see your friends’ birthdays, view calendar events and write “notes” to post to your profile. The new software features a menu page to access all this, and it took me a second to find, but once I realized the grid icon in the upper left hand corner meant something, I was all set. There is also a “notifications” bar at the bottom of the menu, so you can now know the second a friend challenges you to a useless movie quiz. Handy. My favorite part of the FB 3.0 is the landscape mode
