Facebook chat on Android
I learnt yesterday at work that iPhone users can access Facebook's chat facility on their phones.
I tried this on my sexy Samsung Galaxy S, but wasn't successful. Does anyone know if Facebook are planning on introducing chat to the Android market? Or am I just pressing the wrong button? |

You'd think so....but then why not already.
There are some chat like apps on the market place - not sure I want to give my password away to strangers??? Maybe the generic chat app eBuddy is ok? |

Not sure why Facebook don't have this - it certainly is an oversight. Perhaps because Android users could stay logged in indefinitely in the background where iPhone could not?
I have used Meebo in the past for this, and it works well. |

I would be surprised if FB chat is not available on Android. |

. IOS has multitasking if that is what you mean ? Apps like Ebuddy, FB, email,& text use push technology on the i phone without having the apps open in the taskbar. |
