Though does their API give full access to what most Facebook apps do? Like the one on the iPhone created by Facebook themselves?

Yes, the developer would have to create a new Application on Facebook which the developer would use to get/send data to Facebook.

I believe you have save some authorization token returned when someone authorizes the app to give it access to their facebook account.

I might try hacking a simple python gui which talks to Facebook (I've done Facebook Application Dev before...)

That's just a desktop widget for feed - not full blown app.

This is like a must-have app for all platforms

is there a need for an app if n900's browser itself can render facebook like pc?

The phone can render it, if you had a large screen it would be great. But you have to zoom in, tap, wait, tap... i.e. its not optimized for the screen.

Having an app, makes it extremely simple, click on the widget with the feeds, open apps update feed, add, update status etc...its much quicker.

Yeah and the original poster beat you both to it. He already addressed that thought in his first post!
