It isn’t some info that Google and Facebook hit butted heads in the past, so patch Facebook apps are on virtually every ambulatory papers that makes a disagreement correct now, there is no Official Facebook App for Android. This dates backwards to terminal Nov when Facebook dissed Android:

In fact, Facebook execs themselves were heard occupation Android “vaporware” and locution things like, “Android sucks, it doesn’t matter.” The more authorised account from facebook was they would rely on 3rd band developers to attain Facebook apps on Android.

But rumor today has it that an Official Facebook App could start on Android Market as presently as this week. Why the 180? A sort of reasons:

• Android has evidenced itself as stable
• Android has evidenced itself as an Atlantic of HUGE ontogeny with nearly 1 to 2 dozen phones reaching by year’s end
• Google supposedly “lent” Facebook an organise to impact on the covering FOR them. Facebook themselves ease (alledgedly) don’t hit an Android worker.

The covering module apply Facebook’s newborn Stream API that provides virtually untainted admittance to the programme course and position updates. Unfortunately it module NOT be a flooded featured covering as you can’t modify admittance your inbox. However, you crapper wait the covering to be updated with newborn features and meliorate admittance as instance goes on, especially as the Android installed group grow.

Thank you to every the 3rd band developers who bridged the notch in the epilepsy of an Official Facebook App for Android. Keep doing your thing!
