Daily News : Facebook

Screenshots found hidden on Sony's European Playstation website suggest a few changes coming in an upcoming PS3 firmware update. One of those changes includes Facebook access through the console. While nothing has been announced, a PS3 Facebook application makes sense; the Xbox 360 is launching the functionality next week, and it seems as if every smart phone released in 2009 already has a native Facebook application.

I always feel like I fail at being a technology geek since my cell phone is three years old and I have no way to connect with the internet unless I'm sitting at a computer. Is it 2009 or 2006? The rest of the world, or at least 65 million people, have the luxury of using Facebook through their mobile devices. That figure is up over 200% since the beginning of the year. I wonder if Mowia Mobile will let me grow this site 1000000% by next year. I better get started on that.

Mobile access is becoming increasingly important for Facebook because most of its users are outside of the United States, and may be in markets where the cell phone is the primary computer.
