FarmVille Express available for mobile devices

FarmVille released the mobile browser version of their game on Friday!
FarmVille Express is a new way to farm on your mobile browser without the need for an app. It’s a fast way to take care of your farm on the go.
There are only a few features available in FarmVille Express, viewing your actual farm is not one of them. You can, however, take care of accepting gifts, harvesting, plowing and planting your crops.
See images from FarmVille Express in the slideshow to the left!
You can open FarmVille Express in your mobile browser by visiting m.farmville.com on your smart phone.
What you can do:
·         Accept gifts
·         Send gifts
·         Harvest crops
Plant new crops
·         See if your crops are ready for harvest
·         Add neighbors
What you cannot do:
·         Visit neighbors
·         View your farms
·         Make market purchases
·         Use items in your gift box

We do see a couple minor glitches thus far, including the crop mastery tallies being incorrect when planting new crops (only our second level mastery star was filled out for crops we’ve mastered long ago).
You also have to click once for each plot you want to harvest and replant, so in our case, if we want to take care of the 316 fallow plots on our home farm, we’ll be clicking the “Plow and Plant” button 316 times. The game does let us know that harvesting all with fuel usage is coming soon, so we can hope that will alleviate some of the clicking.
