Android getting native Facebook app very soon?

An anonymous source, apparently from within Facebook, has tipped off Engadget that the social network is in the final throes of testing a native Android app that will appear by default on all new devices running Google’s OS.

Facebook’s own official app has long been regarded as a bit of a stinker, pushing users towards third-party apps like Friend Me. If the tipster is correct, Facebook has a chance to exorcise some ghosts and deliver an experience and design that befits its status. We’ll keep you posted.
