Definitively going to try this. Thanks for the info. If you have any more software like this, please share with us.

I saw the app and the first thing that came into my head was:
"Have you ever wanted to be a stalker but were afraid to try? Would you like to be stalked or just followed by strangers?"

LOL That would be a great Saturday Night Live sketch, Dan Akroyd would be great!
I also found out something else, Gippos is a derogatory term for Gypsies, the things you learn on Google.

Probaly ranks right up there with the popular "trackme" progam thats so popular and developed from this forum then
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667
I use this along with a couple friends, its handy to chat and see where they are. I find it less annoying then some of the popular messenger programs that people try to add you as a contact and then spam you. I have had more requests on icq and msn to be added from strangers. This one reguires authorization to add someone to your contact list to as most others do.
If I see a suspious car or helicopter or someone walking behind me holding a wm phone with gippos running , I will let you know If your into stalking you could also try myspace, craiglist or some online youth chat programs, They make the news every so often with good stories about it.

[IDEA] Facebook Widget [Screenshots]

i think the title speaks for itself to be honest but basically i find Twidget so useful for keeping up to date with Twitter so i would like to know if a dev out there is interested in making a very similer widget for the Facebook news feed allowing you to view the last 20 items or so and commenting or 'liking' your friends posts.
im willing to donate and even put my hands onto Photoshop if required ,though my skills are rather mediocre
so who's interested?
EDIT: Made some mock ups in PS to add visual ponder to my idea!

Would actually be nice to have a Facebook Widget considering there isn't a native Facebook Application that works well. Would be nice to have a Digg one too
But yeah with Facebook it would be nice to have something akin to Twidget, long as its all secure.

Yup I think this is defiantly needed, the hard thing is doing it in a small place. I mean it'd be nice to have one like the twitter widget on Hero but this would be hard for most users with 3 home screens. And as Neo said we still do need a facebook application that runs smooth also as this hasn't really been addressed yet. I'm hoping you find a developer that will hop on board with this.

im hoping so too, i think it would be a great addition to anyones home screen and especially if it was in the style of Twidget which only takes up 1x4 spaces of home screen real estate and displaying the latest update and then opening up to a larger app when pressed.
widgets are our friends and also our biggest kick in the face to iphone users, a full customisable desktop is one of the things that makes Android so great!

where we can find this widget?

Anyone else notice the lack of accuracy at times with this app?
I do love it though, the UI is freakin sweet.

UI is great. accuracy gets thrown off for me when im driving near tall(ish) buildings. very slick app

Man I love this place (XDA). I am constantly downloading, flashing, and tweaking something everyday lol

ok just want to let ya'll know it does not work on the hero builds lol... just found that out..

her it is.. but I don't know what you guys think about this web site. we the people whose denied access to market completely (Syrians and few other countries) are forced to find alternatives.

Facebook is FINALLY in the market.

Just downlaoded and checking it out now.

Downloaded!
Here is the QR for it:

Downloaded also. Is it just me, or does it kinda...suck? I can't even figure out how to search for a friend.

its version 1.0 im pretty sure there will be plenty of updates to catch up to other facebook apps
relax!
its finallly here!
i like it so far!

I dont know why but I always havr FC when trying to launch the app.
Anyone else haveing the same issue?

i like it, great start. widget is bit ugly, they could do to mimick the sense ui twitter widget. but im happy

It's funtional. It is a shame you can't view galleries or search for people, but it's a good start.
The Facebook Live Contacts Folder integration is awesome! It's a shame it's limited to 125 people and you can't search.
**EDIT** Also, has anyone uploaded a photo yet? Is it incredibly small?

This is NOT developed by Facebook. Click to view the developers link and it goes to a Facebook page that says "this application was not developed by Facebook"

gonna stick to bloo for a little while longer..

After reading as much info as I could find about the app, it seems Google was behind developing it but they were given access to the API's by Facebook. I was able to sign in without having to give the program special permissions, so even if it isn't developed by Facebook, it seems to be closely tied to Facebook. I guess this is as "official" of an app as we are going to get.

It's an OK start but really needs search capability...
I'm glad I can comment on feed updates - that was sorely missing on the x.facebook.com or iphone.facebook.com web apps.

As far as 1.0 releases are concerned it's pretty damn solid.

touche. be it as it may, this app is definitely streamlined and to the point. i wish it had a little more functionality, but this is definitely a SOLID base to build upon

c'mon the widget isnt that bad but i agree they should take some pointers from the htc developers

Good Lord people. Stop comparing this to the Facebook app on Hero. We will never see that level of integration on a Google build. Never. The only reason you saw it was because HTC built the contacts and dialer apks from the ground up. Google is not going to open source either of those. That level of modification and app building is not going to happen on a 3rd party level. It's just too much work for too little of a return.

I don't know about you guys but I really like it.

FINALLY!!! long over due, like it so far

I notice that we're not able to upload videos, view albums, and search friends with this official app.

i actually think its pretty ****ing great to tell you the truth

i agree its pretty solid in my opinion, plus i love the widget!

If you drive on the road, you need this app

I found this cool app called Driving Assistant Robin. It is similar to Siri sort of. The main goal of the app is for you to make driving on the road easier.
It does this by SPEAKING an ETA and it gives you an alternative route if it believes your going to be stuck in traffic forever. It will also read incoming text messages and emails while you are driving.
It has some more features as well... however, the best feature is that it is FREE.

I am just trying to help keep people safe on the road.
Hundreds of people die every year because they read a text or an email while they are driving. Now, they don't have to worry about this because Driving Assistant Robin will read the email and text message for you while you drive. The app is free as well... you should really go and check it out!

ah? Pretty sure you will need this app the most because of all the people you might hit.

i think they need a human targeting device to further improve the accuracy on sidewalks

I live in a coastal area. It is (or should be) impossible to get lost.
I'll never need a gps, or a GPS app of any sort. If someone gets lost here, they don't deserve to be found.
