New webOS Facebook App Spotted in Ad

 Buzz itShare

The Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pixi was exhibit an unfamiliar version of its Facebook application in a SF Weekly ad recently, hinting that the existing ho-hum version is due for an extensive rising slope in the near future tense. Previously, Facebook on the Palm Pre and Pixi could only handle simpleton friend provender viewing, condition updating, and picture share-out. In this fuzzy painting, we tin can see options in a drop-down fare for hunting, checking events, visiting your own visibility,  messages inbox, and taking a looking at at posted photos.

Now, Palm can hardly be blamed for not being vane 2.0-savvy because of their current lackluster Facebook diligence – webOS already incorporates Facebook natively through Synergy, which nabs tangency entropy and pictures from your various social networks to populate the savoir-faire volume. On big top of that, webOS enjoyed a sizeable update recently, including video recording recording and the ability to part to Facebook right from the video recording heading.

Still, Synergy doesn’t quite equate to a standalone experience that emulates the Facebook varlet itself, and is a open interruption Palm needs to savoir-faire. Even if this blurry snapshot turns out to be true, there’s no expression if things like visibility editing, or Liking and commenting on news items is included. Bigger players, like RIM, ar in a similar position, trying to their own mixer networking gaps, like Twitter and LinkedIn, so Palm is by no means alone in their employment, but Palm’s rough financial carrying out warrants some hustle on getting these no-brainer features out and into the world’s hands.

What form of Facebook features ar you Palm Pre owners pain for most? After Facebook, which mixer network should Palm fishing tackle next?
