Facebook passes on the T-Mobile G1 |
In a surprising move, Facebook won’t be creating an application to run on T-Mobile’s G1 Android-powered smartphone, even though it is available for the iPhone and BlackBerry. Considering this, Facebook fans who are in the market for a new phone will probably pass on the G1.
Facebook commented that Google or another third party will have to develop the application for them, as they don’t want to dedicate any resources toward developing an app for Android. If you want to take a paranoid look at the situation, consider this. Facebook is ad-served and invested in by Microsoft. Make of that what you will, but just because your paranoid, doesn’t mean they aren’t out to deny you a phone app.

This phone is so cool, it doesn’t need a facebook interface - it already has one - its called a browser - and it works just fine. Finally, great looking, useable websites on a phone.
just use iphone.facebook.com
i just switched from my iphone to my g1 last night..
tried this site. and loads quick even on edge lol. i’m sure someone will make an app eventually.
There are 2 facebook apps for android already. Not to mention, simply going to facbook.com or m.facebook.com works just fine. You just don’t get the chat, but there’s an app for this already
good to hear a solution already exists then.
