My dad was addicted to Snood. So was I. It was like family bonding time before Facebook came with Farm Town. Snood was a classic. It was simple, elegant and highly addicting and its now on the iPhone / iPod touch. What makes Snood more interesting is its gearing towards social media: you can opt in for a 2 player mode that connects to Facebook to challenge your friends. There’s also a WiFi challenge mode. Overall, a brilliant time waster. I just bought it.

There are games that you pay for from the iTunes store that end up being forgotten, but Snood is here to stay despite its steeper USD $3.99 price tag.

I think it was too soon to announce the N97’s miniature clone, but that’s how Nokia flies. The smaller N97 comes with a set of specs that doesn’t put it to shame if you compare it side by side its older brother.

The N97 comes with a special “Lifecasting” feature that allows you to update your Facebook status from the home screen. This is actually a special partnership with Facebook, showing the absolute necessity for such a social network these days — it becomes a featured highlight of the phone itself.

The phone comes with a 5MP camera, 3.2 in screen, 24GB of memory total when you count the internal memory of 8GB.

The N97 mini will be available soonest next month for a SRP of EUR450.

With the new Facebook layout (are you liking it?) several apps developers have come up with Facebook 2.0 apps that don’t seem to be backward compatible with the “old” layout. One of these is the Share on Ovi application that embeds your public media timeline to Facebook. So what this means is that your friends can see new media you uploaded via Ovi (and ultimately your Nokia mobile phone).

Cool beans.

Have any of you Berry users experienced similar impediments with the FaceBook application?
