I agree with nearly every point in that article and I particularly like this comment left by Pete Forde,
Speaking entirely based on my own opinion, I always thought Facebook apps were slow, not particularly good or interesting or even fun, and in fact just added clutter to a platform I otherwise use every day and adore. iPhone apps on the other hand likely have a stable future that will be measured in terms of years rather than months, simply because it’s a closed loop that doesn’t rely on dwindling advertising revenues. That it’s tied into an iTunes account for consolidated billing is just a home run IMHO.
