Facebook – Windows Mobile Integration

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could relate all your facebook friends to everyone in your outlook contacts and then download up-to-date information to your phone? Well we’re nearly there! There is a great app call Fonebook available to download for free.

The app is installed on your computer and it can automatically download Birthdays, Photos and Status updates directly into your contacts in your Outlook. As far as I can figure out it matches facebook friends to outlook contacts by email but the app allows you to filter all the unmatched friends and assocaite them to Contacts manually. I just found out that you can keep it running in the background and it will automatically run every 10 minutes if you so wish.

Once all your contacts are updated in your outlook you can then sync your phone with your computer to get all the photos and birthday reminders on your phone … pretty cool eh? I haven’t has any issues with the app yet.

Lets go one step further, why shouldn’t we be able to get phone numbers and addresses and information you really need on your phone once your friend has given you access to see that information on Facebook? The author of Fonebook says its in Facebook’s privacy terms and conditions, which I partly understand unless Facebook are planning on releasing something that does this? who knows.

Thanks for a great app and I’ll love to see a Windows Mobile based app soon
