The Fastlane has just got even better. Fastlane now brings you closer to all of your friends in your social networks. Re-tweets and Facebook likes now pop up in Fastlane, as do friends' birthdays.
The update also brings new parental controls. Using a special password or PIN code you can control the browser and Store access, putting a stop to unwanted downloads or unexpectedly high data charges.
