Who wants to see President Obama live on a Google+ hangout? If you do then next week you are in luck because Obama will be doing exactly that.

Facebook for Android now looks amazing: Hands-On
The new Facebook application for Android has the same features but a completely revamped UI. If you've ever used Facebook for iOS, then you may find it nearly identical. They completely did away with the home screen from the previous version, and replaced it with the slidebar pictured below.

The new update is said to be rolling out in stages today and I've just tried it with no such luck but we can expect to see it available for everyone shortly. Real-time search is a big one here as shown in the video when you search for say, Androids, you get full results as well as a notification when something new is posted and can simply click to see the latest Android news (or come to Android Community of course).
