Facebook iPhone App Updated to Include New Facebook Timeline Feature

Facebook may have only just launched its brand new Timeline feature to the vast majority of its 800+ million users, but that hasn't stopped the social network giant from being uncharacteristically quick to update its mobile apps.

Facebook has pushed its latest update to its universal iOS app, but the Timeline feature is currently only available as part of the iPhone and iPod touch version of the app. Facebook noted in the app's change log that the iPad app will get Timeline soon.

It is also worth noting that the biggest part of this update, the highly-anticpated Timeline view, will not show up in the updated app unless you have already activated it on your account from Facebook's website.

Scribblenauts App Store Game Introduces Gameplay Integration with Siri

Popular handheld puzzler Scribblenauts has seen an update to its iOS version that brings an iPhone 4S-only feature to the game.

For those not familiar with the concept, Scribblenauts' challenge comes from the requirement to achieve specific goals by manoeuvring Maxwell around the level by using adjectives and nouns to create in-world objects. Tell the game you want a flamethrower or ladder, for example, and you'll be given one. It's an interesting approach to the puzzle genre.

This new update goes one step further by allowing you to speak your conjuring requests using the power of Siri on the iPhone 4S.
