Although Facebook did not announce a Facebook phone today, they did announce that the Android app will be getting an update that will bring new features.
-
Groups: share posts with small groups of friends

Places: share where you are with friends, see where friends are, discover places nearby
-
Improved Notifications - view comments and updates within the app

Various bug fixes
Another big announcement was with their new mobile platform. There is a single sign-on functionality. The way is works is, once you are signed into your Facebook account, applications that use Facebook APIs won't ask you to sign on again and this functionality will be easy for developers to incorporate because it only takes a few lines of code to enable it.
There are already some Lapps in the Market already using the new single sign-on API including Yelp, Flixster, Zynga, Loopt (which crashed on the iPhone demo +1 Android) and a lot more applications will be updating their apps in the Market.
