farmville, mobster games, etc etc which are all flash.

Both Farmville (60+ million users) and Mafia Wars (45+ million users) have been ported to iOS.

Ported as in "You go to facebook and it just works"?

Or ported as in "You have to do X,Y,Z"?

If it's the later, I don't think it particularly matters. Most people just want it to work. They consider a browser should function as a browser.

As in 'a native app.'

Right. Which is my point (Thanks for the downmods guys).

Most people are going to want to go to a website, and have it work. A native app doesn't cut it.

Not if they use the facebook app, which is what they would use to get to facebook.
