The Facebook app for the Palm Pre is here. It is an official app, but it remains a little barebones for now, but updates are in the works and should roll out steadily. The app features the live main feed, but seems to ignore any filters you might have applied – so you’ll still receive updates from feeds you’ve categorically excluded. Everything else works very well, and fits nicely into the WebOS interface. You can view and share photographs and updates, and like or unlike status updates from your friends.
Links open in new Browser card views, and YouTube videos will automatically launch the corresponding WebOS app. You can manually refresh the feeds. Thankfully the app is pretty light on battery usage, hopefully additional updates will still maintain this excellent feature. Right now, you can follow your friends’ updates, send out your own, and share photos. Joining and creating groups, chat, and other features are yet to be seen. It’s a functional and well-designed start.

Help!!!! I downloaded this app and it automatally imported all of my FB friends into the contact list on my cell phone…when I tried to delete these contacts it says FB profiles can’t be deleted!! I have deleted the app and it still won’t let me delete the new contacts…what can i do????
Go to Contacts -> Preferences & Accounts and remove that Facebook account from Accounts. It will remove your FB friends from your phone contacts but will not affect your FB account otherwise.
how come when i use this app on my pre, it won’t allow me to view a live feed. only the new feed. how do i change this?
How come I can’t view photo comments?? Facebook on my Instinct was better.
