Hi, I remember this survey. I didn't read all of the public responses, but I did read a lot of them.
I seem to remember a lot of requests for an email reader, a bunch for a remote access solution that isn't proprietary and therefore useless, Enhancements to braille and webbrowsing support. I may have selective reading and simply tuned out the facebook stuff since I'm not interested, but I don't remember reading a lot, that is to say, any requests for a facebook app. I could be wrong, but between the mobile site and the fact that both the IPhone and android facebook apps are accessible, Not to mention that facebook mobile tends to be uber integral on mobile platforms for slagging all kinds of content up to facebook pages, I'm just not seeing how this is a profitable venture for the company. Especially with the flagship product falling behind in some key areas such as web browsing and braille.
