Are you scared to leave the home because you’re worried that someone might poke you, turn you into a zombie or ask you to compare your taste in books while you’re out and you’ll miss it? FriendMobilizer is a Facebook application for Windows Mobile that gives you access to some of the most frequently used portions of Facebook when you’re away from a computer.

You can use the app to:

• Receive and respond to notifications and inbox messages
• Browse pic albums
• Write on walls
• Update your status

FriendMobilizer is free but it won’t work on all Windows Mobile devices. You need to have Windows Mobile 6 or higher and you need to install the program to your device’s main memory, not to a storage card. You also need to provide a phone number to register, which rules out classice PDA-style devices.

We’ve covered several apps that integrate with the social music platform Last.FM, and we’ve expressed our worries about what might happen to the site when it was purchased by CBS. As it happens, though, Last.FM has only gotten superior lately. And now that they’ve released a shiny new version of their public API, we’re hoping for more development on the downloadable app front.

Here’s the skinny on the new API features: there’s now read/write authentication for desktop, web and mobile apps, which, besides being essential for any service that logs your music listening, sets the stage for — dare we hope? — a killer Last.fm app for iPhone. The API will also grant apps to access search functions and make playlists, which means easier access to Last.FM’s growing library of free streaming tracks. Scrobble on, amigos.
