Rumour has it that an official app for Facebook running on Android is coming soon. The official launch may be closer than we thought. The app looks finished in the screens that have surfaced online. When Android made its handset debut on the T-Mobile G1 back in October of 2008, a nasty bout of drama between Facebook and Google kept the former from developing on the nascent platform.

There has still been no indication from Google or Facebook that the app is coming. The screen shots show what you expect to find in an official Facebook app. The app lacks static tabs found on the iPhone version; they are presumably in the drawer accessed via the menu button.
One screen points to a widget for the home page of Android devices that would allow the updating of the status without opening the app. That means you can post your pointless update without having to launch Facebook.
