Anybody know of any games that link up with the simple games on facebook? For instance, on my ipod touch I could play Lexulous. Just trying to find something simple to kill time in secretary of state lines and office meetings that I can play against my co-workers.
 
I'd also like to know this?
With Flash 10.1 coming to android soon (Droid already supporting) you may be able to play the other games including Poker etc.

Could someone please confirm if i'd be able to play Texas Holdem Poker on facebook since its flash based when the flash update comes out?

I think Carl is right. I don't think all Flash games are going to work. If you watch the Adobe video on the N1, the man clearly says that they are working with specific gaming sites. Without a standard mouse and keyboard, the interfacing is different not every game is going to work. Luckily though, touching the screen and moving your finger around is fairly closely related to moving a mouse, so it may "just work".

well my Hero does flash, but will not play any facebook games. i dont think mobiles ever will... because even my macbook kicks up the fans and works overtime when i have those flash games going. theres way too much going on in some of those games for the mobile hardware to handle. (ie: biggest farm on farmville, or multiple fish tanks in fishville)

of course thats just my thoughts. i could be totally wrong.

I stumbled across a game called m:Vampire which will link to your Facebook account. I had never heard of it on Facebook before but it does in fact exist. It's not too bad, plays like most of the other games on Facebook.

Update: Just found a new (new to me, anyway) game developer that does Facebook and smartphone games. http://www.moblyng.com/

Hope this helps!

Never say never, bill gates once said 512mb of memory was all anyone would ever need for computing, and well, now see what we have? The newer phones with faster more powerful processors ie, nexus and a few others can handle it, especially if adobe makes a mobile version of it, they just seem to be dragging feet for some reason.

Yep, I think farmville is really the only game that I would like to see working. I have found other games on the market almost identical to the rest of the facebook apps.

That would be the worst! Facebook dies on the weekends and in the afternoons when the kids come home as it is. If people were constantly farting around with those games, you may as well kiss the database on that webserver goodbye.
