iPad Facebook Apps

MG Siegler:

What’s crazy is that Facebook is letting other developers not affiliated with the company own this space. That’s great for those developers, but it’s potentially bad for Facebook. Most of the apps that promise a “native” iPad Facebook experience are simply Facebook’s touch-optimized site wrapped in skins. And most of them are mediocre — not to mention very ugly. And many of them even charge customers for those experiences!

Mostly, this is true, but I’d like to mention that despite having a ridiculously useless name and an ugly icon, MyPad+ is a fairly decent iPad Facebook client because they made the smart decision of all but ripping off Twitter for iPad’s interface. I think it’s worth the dollar, considering that the official Facebook website is not even fully functional on the iPad.
