Social-networking site Facebook is letting its users play together on the road by using Apple's popular iPhone and iPod Touch mobile devices.
"For the first time, your iPhone apps can now have friends," said Dave Morin, Facebook's Senior Platform Manager.Facebook Connect for the iPhone debuted with nine applications available at Apple's online iTunes store and a promise that more will launch in coming days. Mini software programs tailored to mesh with the Facebook operating platform let social-networking service users play games with each other online, share restaurant reviews while on the move and locate friends. Facebook members can use the community-oriented applications through iPhones as they would if they were connecting through a home computer. Facebook launched Connect last year as a way to break down the walls between the social networking service and other websites and services on the Internet.
