It's no secret that Facebook has been making enhancements to its instant messaging capabilities. These are partially welcomed by the Facebook community, yet some still want to chat with their friends from a full-blown desktop application. You could use Windows Live Messenger, which supports Facebook Chat out of the box, but what if you're really looking for a Facebook-specific application?
iOS comes with several customizable system settings, yet they often require users to navigate through several menus in order to access them.

If you're a regular reader of this site, there should be no need to tell you that webOS is on its way out as HP has decided to discontinue all webOS hardware, such as the Pre and the TouchPad. The developers who were developing software for the platform will likely feel the pinch, unless they take Microsoft's offer and start developing apps for Windows Phone 7 instead.
