Even ask Joe Hewitt himself.
Which brings us back to square one...why have an app that just duplicates the mobile site in a different skin if that's all "most people" use anyway?
People aren't asking for an app because it is such a frickin' hassle to type touch.facebook.com into your Pre browser once and bookmark it. They want an app because they want to do MORE, not less.
