Facebook Launches Dedicated iPhone Site

Social networking site Facebook.com just launched a dedicated iPhone Web page, and TechCrunch reports that it’s a blast to use despite some early javascript-related glitches.

iPhone owners can access the site by keying iphone.facebook.com in the phone’s Safari Web browser. TechCrunch blogger Michael Arrington gives it a thumbs up, saying that “a lot of startups are going to look to this as the gold standard, at least for now.”

All of the main Facebook features are in place, including four key navigation tabs across the top: Home, Profile, Friends and Inbox. Arrington said that you can click on any person and see their profile, Wall or photos via a horizontal-scrolling interface.
