Microsoft loves to tout WP7's native social integration (especially with Facebook) throughout the OS, so whether this app is useful in any meaningful way remains to be seen. It may just be an effort to silence those who kept crying for a separate Facebook app to be available (and reportedly many people did)."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1287627356.usr110171.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>Over on the DownloadSquad website they are reporting on their first impression of what appears to be a Microsoft-made Facebook application. On the one hand, it doesn't seem to go above and beyond what other Facebook apps do on other platforms, but, hey, people can actually soon start downloading and using apps for this new Windows Phone 7 platform. That's a great development and this app seems to be more than adequate for addressing your mobile Facebook needs.</p>
