No Facebook App For Ipad Any Time Soon_60385


I hope the title didn抰 disappoint you too much, but Mark Zuckerberg clearly stated: the iPad isn抰 mobile. Well those words sound confusing so let抯 see what happened.

iPad has been gaining in popularity and has even been proposed to be used in schools, which could be very useful as kids wouldn抰 have to carry tons of books and they could access any information they need. The cost of the iPad compared to textbooks may also be an advantage. So while Apple iPad has been gaining in popularity we were all expecting a Facebook app for it, but Mark had to disappoint us.

Mark Zuckerberg clearly explained that he has nothing against Apple, but he simply doesn抰 see iPad at the same level as the iPhone or Android and that developing a Facebook app for iPad is not a priority. They are working on creating a new version of Facebook for mobile users; someone hinted a new HTML5 version.

This shouldn抰 be a let down news as Facebook is clearly accessible using the iPad, it functions pretty well and there haven抰 been any problems reported. The fact that there is no Facebook app or iPad can only mean that they are focusing on quality and they don抰 wish to rush anything, plus there is still time for iPad to become more popular and more used, like Mark stated, iPad is still far from iPhone抯 popularity.

Facebook has been known as top notch provider when it comes to user experience and we can expect that trend to continue. If Mark says Facebook is not ready they are not ready, when they are I am sure that it will be an app to behold. In the meanwhile there are still dozens of apps being developed for iPad from other companies so you shouldn抰 feel like anything is missing.
