The appearance of a MySpace application in the Android Market without a Facebook app to keep it company may be no coincidence. Reports are emerging bringing up the bad blood between Google and Facebook. The social-networking site revealed that hey will not be releasing a Facebook application for the Android platform.

Friction between the two brands began when Facebook blocked Google’s Friend Connect, claiming there were security issues over the competing application. Facebook also teamed up with Microsoft for which is hardly a Google supporter. Rumors are flying around everywhere stating that a Facebook representative said, “Android sucks, it doesn’t matter.” Whether these reports are true or not is yet to be determined.
Facebook has not completely ruled out the possibility of a Facebook application for Android. They simply said that Google or a third party will have to do it for the site, as it won’t be dedicating any resources to the project. Facebook promptly released an application for the iPhone that was developed internally. Although Facebook did not create a Rim version of the application, they lent engineers for the development of it.

UPDATE: OK, so I turned my G1 back on and had enough juice left to get the Facebook Group started. For those who want to join, the name of the group is: "Android Facebook App" If anyone want to photoshop a little graphic for the group logo. Maybe a Facebook App Icon on an Android desktop or a facebook logo on he G1.
Or join this Facebook Group ( http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=30076312297 ) that might have beat you to the punch.
Google could release an app for orkut, their "facebook"
just go to iphone.facebook.com on your G1.
enjoy!
someone should look into the other iphone web apps out there to see which ones work, since they both use a webkit based browser, there may be a few.
