At the Facebook Mobile event, Mark Zuckerberg, when asked about when the Facebook official iPad app would arriving, blurted out: “The iPad is not mobile!” Erick Tseng, Facebook Lead Product Manager, did a bit of emergency mopping up after the loose lipped Zuckerberg, and said that the reason there was still no official iPad app was because Facebook has still not found the best way to scale for a form factor, that doesn’t lock Facebook into a particular device. Zuckerberg did reiterate though, that the iPad is not a mobile device, in the same way a smartphone is.

    “the iPad is not a mobile device, in the same way a smarphone is”

    Ok, obvious typo aside (sorry E-Pig) Zuckerberg need to give more of a rationale if he's going to make dumb statements like this.

    Mobile: “capable of moving or being moved readily”

    Well that clears that up then.
