Yes, I know many of you though this day would never come.

The official Facebook app has finally launched on the Android Market, and it allows for all the poking, liking, following and status upadating that the full desktop version of the famous social network offers…almost.

We’re giving it the benefit of the doubt as it is version 1.0, but the Facebook app lacks messaging and has been having teething problems on various Android handsets, particularly the HTC Hero.

Still, this is still an app in it’s infancy, and considering that this application was “never going to happen” at one point, let’s just enjoy the miracle of Facebook and Google playing together nicely, shall we?

We know how tough it has been for Google and Facebook to see eye to eye, it wasn’t that long ago that a Facebook app was ‘not coming any time soon‘.

The animosity has turned into full blown love as Techcrunch reported that a client for the social networking site was indeed winging its way onto the platform, as soon as the end of the week!

So anyone that has bought a MyTouch3G and is in dire need of someone to poke or to fill in a quiz about movie star’s slacks, your solution is on the way!

Not quite here yet, but we are expecting it any time from today, the 5th of August!
