WebOS Facebook App Now Available

Tweet

Having just offered you a heads up concerning the availability of the new WebOS 1.3.1 Firmware, and advising that the Palm Pixi is now available via Sprint, we follow up with news that owners of both the Palm Pre and the Palm Pixi at last have their own Facebook app which, incidentally, requires the aforementioned WebOS 1.3.1.

Unfortunately, whilst a Facebook app for the Palm Pre/Palm Pixi will undoubtably be warmly welcomed you’ll need to reel in your expectations as if you’re envisioning a Facebook app that’s comparable with the iPhone’s Facebook application (as you’ll be sorely disappointed) – as the WebOS 1.3.1 Facebook app is a somewhat basic affair in terms of functionality and features. For example, whilst you can gain contact information by clicking on a contact’s name or photo you can forget about any search functionality (a search feature does not appear to be in evidence) or viewing events or just about anything else aside from base functionality – though some would argue (understandably) that such features are hardly removed from what one would readily assume to be fairly base level features.

Still, if you’ve been waiting for a Facebook app for your Palm Pre or new Palm Pixi, you’ve got it (as underwhelming as it is).
