Last night I was trying to use the Facebook application to find the address to a party I was going to and realized that the Facebook iPhone app doesn't support events! Then I went to the Facebook iPhone site, and it didn't display address data for events either. Safari's mobile web browser is so good that I found myself just using that to navigate the old Facebook page. The short of it is, if you're not providing added value in the UI experience, don't bother with a shiny new front-end to your web app for iPhone applications. It’s funny that you bring this up.
