This has just started to spread itself around the web - I got the message via mashable but I then hurried along to the Android Marketplace only to find no such app listed. A friend has a 2.1 Desire and he's got it. Another disappointment for Hero and it's 1.5....
I'm on a 2.1 Rom and it works great

Yes, i think its the best twitter app for android.
But there is no fullscreen widget for the homescreens (such as HTC Peep)
Only half screen size widget which you can see only one tweet
This epitomises the whole 2.1 debacle.
Its an open UI FFS and the market is evilly fragmented and despondent. Google should be applying pressure here to balance this thing out.
Without them the OS would not exist and the manufs could not 'freeride' on the back of it.
All that money and early adoption. I would have been better off sticking with my Kaiser and then waiting for a 2.1 equipped handset.
The 'Desirers' will be in the same position in 4 months though if HTC have a Legend2 or Infinite or whatever they choose to release
Is there a better fb app then the standard android one??

Your best bet would be to use the browser version of Facebook. The Android version sucks!
Too bad we can't get the developer for the Facebook for iPhone application, to create one for Android.
Calling all Laucher Pro lovers.................. Launcher Pro Plus was launched today!
http://www.launcherpro.com/
Taken from the Laucher Pro website:-
So last week I promised you big news coming to LauncherPro. It took a bit longer than I expected, but hopefully it was worth the wait!
One of the features I get requested the most is to support HTC Sense widgets. It seems everyone wants them. Because of the way these widgets are built into the HTC Sense launcher itself, this is simply not possible. And since not every Android user has a phone with HTC Sense, these widgets are not even available to all users.
Today I’m glad to announce a new milestone in LauncherPro’s history. Starting today, there’s a new version called LauncherPro Plus, which will contain several widgets, exclusive to LauncherPro Plus users.
Upcoming widgets include:
•People Widget – To quickly access all your contacts, or just your favorites, or a particular group. (Included in this release)
•Bookmarks Widget – Quick access to your browser’s bookmarks
•Friends Widget – Lists your friend’s status updates from Facebook and Twitter, and lets you update your own status too.
•Calendar/Agenda Widget – Shows you a calendar you can scroll through to switch months, and also lets you see your agenda for any particular day right within the widget.
•Messaging – Scroll through a list of your SMS messages or one by one. Quick links to delete messages, reply, etc.
I’ll be adding these widgets over the next couple of weeks. The “People” widget is available right now to LauncherPro Plus users. There’s going to be other features in the future that will be available only to Plus users too.
Pretty cool, eh?
Now, as you can imagine, LauncherPro Plus is not free. I’ve been working full-time on LauncherPro for the past two months without making a single penny. Obviously I can’t keep devoting all my time to it without making any money, so hopefully enough of you will buy the Plus version to keep the project alive.
The early-bird price for LauncherPro Plus is only $2.99 USD, and you can buy it today through Paypal using this link. The price will most likely go up once all widgets are included, so you’ll want to get in early to enjoy the discount.
I haven’t made it available through the Android market because unfortunately I don’t live in one of the few countries that Google allows to sell paid apps from. And there’s stil a huge amount of people (including myself) who live in countries where paid apps aren’t even available to purchase. (Way to go, Google!)
Another good thing about this new Plus version is that, if sales go well enough, I’ll be able to actually hire programmers to help me develop LauncherPro even faster. So even if you don’t have a use for these widgets, you should consider buying the Plus version to support the future development of LauncherPro.
Just downloaded this myself and although has only the one widget at the momnet the potential is certainly there!
Don't thank Google, thank you country's government for placing unreasonable restrictions on such things.
what are the chances that HTC will just sue him for copying their widgets?

When you install launcher pro plus you can see they are not the actual sense widgets. As for HTC getting nasty nothing ever happened to Weather Widgets or Fancy Widget how copy the HTC clock flawlessly!

i have paypal and maybe i'll buy this one.
I paid for : even for launcher pro he deserve this money. The widget is too sense-style for me (black-glossy theme).

I just hope he won't loose interest in updating normal version.
Normal and pro version completely the same. Only + for Pro is the widget.
I paid for it... as mentioned above, the dev deserves some £££ for his excellent launcher and having some extra widgets is just a bonus... personally I don't like the included contacts widget... the contact pictures looks awful!
c'mon keep his beer fund going. love this launcher bought it myself
Can someone please post some screenshots, so I can see how the widgets look? If they look nearly like the HTC's, I'll give it a try.

i really like the fact he uses paypal
paypal converts it into your local currency automatically, and saves me getting charged by my bank
i hate it when i use google checkout to pay for a lil app, then find the bank charges turn out to be more than the app was in the first place...
“It gave it (Facebook) this soul… We don’t want to build a phone or operating system that some people will use,” he says. “Even if we did build a really good phone we’d only serve 1% of our community… We’re not building a phone. We’re not building an operating system.”
Android is very open, Zuck says, so you can make many changes to it. “You don’t need to fork Android to do this… Today we’re going to talk about the Home Screen of your phone.”

Yeah.But lets see hows immersive is the experience? Waiting to see it on our nexuses.... (anyone listening?)
I don't understand what it is, what feature ?
I do check to see what on FB its through the browser.
I have an off the wall question but can anyone possibly tell me what version of Private Share was on the first One UI 3.1 update on the S10 Plus? I had never see or heard of the app until my girlfriend brought it to my attention while she was snooping in my Google Activity. I know that system apps typically auto update, which it seems like mine did because it shows in the activity on the date I update my device and a few days later. But again, I had never seen or heard of Private Share. Now I have spent the last two days explaining how Android and Samsung updates work, how she herself had the goddamn app on her S10 Plus too but she still thinks I'm doing something shady with it. Nevermind that the app only works with certain other Galaxy devices also. That's not good enough for her.
