So apparently there are bigger problems with Friends than just the need for a simpler main menu.

I would like to be able to say whether Sperte’s right or wrong, but getting updates with the app is so slow on my iPhone 3G that I just can’t stand it, and thus haven’t been using it at all. It has so much potential, and can become iOS’ Synergy, or People hub. I see what they want to do with it, and was ready to reshuffle my home screen to accommodate it — this thing can ruin my current layout completely — but it’s just not there. So close.
