Wow...here FB is doing all the heavy lifting for apple, and Steve Jobs is yelling at the owner because he is allowing someone else to do all the heavy lifting for their platform...and instead of filing a restraining order against Steve like any rational person would, he caved!

Not even Apple and Facebook fanboys could condone that.

In a logical world that would mean users massively fleeing from Apple platform instead of justifying that move and/or blaming Adobe for it. But, once again, fanboys are anything but logical.

In a logical world apple fans would demand that they fix the iPhone4 antenna, that they would support flash, that they would offer dual-core phones, and they they would come installed with Android...but we don't live in a logical world.

I have a hard time believing that jobs visited zuckerberg several times to yell at him over the app. I have an even harder time believing that the facebook app was THE key to hp's touch pad success, or failure. Even HP's idiot has been CEO, wouldn't base a products success or failure on a single app.

I think I smell a resurgence of touchpads at middle of the road prices. Say double the fire sale price?
