#1. I would appreciate a well done FB app for the Pre if it had no functional limitations compared to what the full FB site can do.

#2. But the Pre is a good phone and using the full FB site is not hugely inconvenient. Sure, you have to pinch-zoom in and out, but that's not really something that makes me crap my pants. It only adds a fraction of a second to the process.

#3. FB usability test; Pre versus iPhone...

...Sit down on a park bench.
...Pull out your iPhone and Pre.
...Go to FB; full site on the Pre, via app on the iPhone.
...Oh look, one of your friends has uploaded some photos!
...Navigate to your friend's photo album.
...Hey, one of the photos in the album is your friend with you!
...Start typing a comment to the photo.
...Get interrupted by a guy sitting next to you on the park bench.
...He asks if you know a good Mexican restaurant in the area.
...Oh that's easy open up GoodFood on the Pre or whatever the equivalent is on the iPhone.
...Find a Mexican restaurant in the area and show the guy sitting next to you.

...Now close that app and go back to FB and continue where you left off typing the comment on your friend's photo.

Just sayin',
