At a press conference today at Facebook's headquarters, the social networking site announced that it is making updates to its mobile apps — specifically when it comes to Facebook Places.

A goodly portion of Facebook's 200 million mobile users will be pleased to know that Facebook for Android will now come equipped with Groups and Places integration — which is good news, considering Android users previously had to check in via the Facebook mobile site.

On the Apple side, Facebook Places for iPhone is getting the ability to add photos to checkins and better tagging, which should enhance the experience for those already using the service in-app.

These updates are not available yet, but should be soon. We'll be testing them out here at Mash headquarters when they hit the App Store and Android Market, and will let you know our thoughts soon.
