New Facebook App For Pre, Pixi Uninspires

Facebook on webOS

Facebook has released its first official app for the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre and Pixi, but as Engadget Mobile reports, users may be underwhelmed by its functionality.

The app, which runs on the latest version of Palm’s webOS mobile operating system, lets people update their status, post photos and view the live stream — features that many have come to expect from any app that boasts some Facebook functionality — but not much else. Users can’t search for specific info, view events or even see their friends’ profiles, as clicking on someone’s name or photo just turns up their contact info. Facebook already launched apps for Android-based phones, the iPhone and the Blackberry; perhaps a more functional version for webOS will roll out in a few months.
