Facebook app now available for Zune HD (update: it's also broken)

You've been up nights, we know, and now Microsoft has finally ended your torment: the long-promised Facebook application is now available for download to the Zune HD. Go wild, but not too wild, alright everybody?

Update: So we just got a chance to download and play with the app a little -- and just like the Twitter app, things don't seem to be quite fully baked at launch. We couldn't get anything of the tabs to load apart from our personal photos, and there wasn't any confirmation when we sent in a Zune music status update -- although it did show up on Facebook, so it obviously worked. The photo viewer lets you leave comments, but you can't pinch-to-zoom -- or zoom at all, actually. We're sure Zune HD owners will be happy -- it's free, after all -- but we're going to assume Microsoft and Facebook have something far better planned for Windows Phone 7 Series.

Update 2: It's not just us -- the official Zune Twitter account confirms that the Facebook app is "experiencing some issues accessing data." We'll let you kow if we hear anything else.

It seems like Microsoft hates everyone who buys a Zune.

"We want a facebook app! You promised!"

"What? Ah, fine. Give me a few months."

*months pass*

"Here you go, knock yourself out kid."

"This app doesn't even work!"

"AND THIS BEER IS WARM, GO GET ME ANOTHER ONE"

I'm not for or against the zuneHD.. Never used it. But I have an iPod touch and the facebook app is superb. It's near perfect in every way.

It works now....actually quite well

When I first logged in, News Feed and Friends did not load. Everything else worked. I logged out and then back in and now everything works. As long as it keep working, I like it. Very nice.

it's been steadily improving each time i boot up the app...i think every aspect of the app is working for me now...i like it alot....

though i must admit the first time i logged in and it failed at loading about 50% of the data i was considering all sorts of bad ways to destroy my zune

Bigger screen, larger memory! "Size" does matters. *Wink*
