Now you can poke your Facebook buddies, write on walls, and upload photos at will thanks to the just-announced Facebook app for the ubiquitous smartphone. I visited the RIM booth here at CTIA for a quick look.

Available now as a free download, the new Facebook app boasts a ribbon of icons atop the main screen that lets you check your friends list, poke one of your pals, write on a wall, upload pictures, add a buddy, or compose messages. You can also compose, reply to, or otherwise manage your Facebook messages even when you’re not in wireless range. Even better is the app’s ability to tag photos before uploading them to Facebook; you just aim the red crosshairs at the person/thing/place in your picture and tag away. Source yahoo.com
