Android gets Facebook application after all

The notifications are also nice (though not push: it just checks every five minutes) but they're mostly useless because the app logs you out after you close it, and thus can't access your messages, etc. But I don't mean to be so harsh on Next Mobile Web, because it's so nice to see a third party solution to Facebook's silly stubbornness.

That authorization only has to happen 1 time. That's not the app, that's how Facebook requires it to be done. When a third party program (or web script, such as LiveJournal) wants to make modifications to your profile, you must give that app the "ok" to proceed. After you do it once, you don't need to do it again.
