Psssst guess what... I do use Facebook. And often. And usually when I am using my phone to check Facebook, I'm more interested in a quick look at my news feed than I am anything else. Am I disappointed that there isn't going to be more functionality in this app off the bat? Sure. But I have a feeling most people interface with Facebook on their mobiles in manner similar to me.
Even ask Joe Hewitt himself.
