Seriously, maybe their staff still has loyalties to Apple if this is what they put out for publicity.
I can picture you on the Titanic as the ship is going down, asking if was the driver's fault or the iceberg's fault. Gotta get that straight before focusing on the real issue. Don't want to make the driver look bad if you can help it.
If you care about Palm, you should be critical of this app and the fact that Palm is getting behind it in *any* way. I don't care if they're the developer or not. At some point you need to hold them to a higher standard.
This has noting to do with the Titanic, or whose "driving", unless you somehow think Palm is going down over this. I don't think so. Barring that, it's just another topic to discuss. I think it's funny that some of you guys are getting your undies all up in a wad over it. You guys are are declaring Palm a failure over an app you haven't even seen yourself yet!!
Facebook is a service. There are already two other apps that work. One of them works fine for me. If Palm/Facebook/JoeDownTheStreet comes up with something better, great (I've already switched once, paid for FriendsFlos, and have since discovered I like Palmbook better). If not, I'll just keep using my phone the way it is.
I look at Twitter much the same way. There are now at least 4 Twitter apps out for the Pre. The fact that there is one of them that I don't like, doesn't reflect on Palm one way or the other. By the same token, the fact that there is one I particularly like doesn't either. It reflects on the developer, not the device.
