Friend Me -- A tablet-optimized experience for Facebook

[Chris Stewart]

Yesterday Google emailed me to say the app had been restored on the Market. However, when I went to update Friend Me to version 1.2, I noticed that the United States wasn't available for distribution but every other country was. That created a lot of confusion for users trying to update. Until Google can resolve this issue I've unpublished Friend Me from the Android Market.

Regardless of the Market troubles, Friend Me 1.2 is available now! I've posted a direct download link for the Friend Me 1.2 final release: http://www.locomolabs.com/releases/friend-me/1.2/FriendMe.apk. I've also updated the first post in this thread with new screenshots and a list of features.

I've published Friend Me 1.3.1 to the Android Market which has an in-app purchase option to remove the ad. I've also moved the ad to the news detail fragment and made it a leaderboard style ad.

The in-app upgrade is only $0.99 for a limited time.
