The Facebook app all of us Zune HD lovers have been waiting for has arrived! It looks pretty solid, but due to a hilarious sequence of errors, I can’t update my Zune software to allow the app to be installed. Seriously, Microsoft, I want to recommend Zune stuff to everyone, but you make it so difficult for me. You can see what it looks like in these screenshots, at any rate. More in the gallery below.
Damn, can anyone get this thing working? I keep getting a network error. Come on!
Update: if you’re having issues with the app not pulling info from Facebook, Microsoft has this to say:
After launching the Facebook application for the Zune HD, we discovered a technical issue related to the API calls to Facebook which does not allow Zune users to view News Feed. The Facebook and Microsoft engineering teams are working together and hope to have a solution in the coming days
I don’t know how major apps like this launch without somebody maybe installing it on a random Zune HD and seeing if it works with someone’s Facebook account who isn’t on the Zune team.
Haha. I can’t get it to work either. It loaded and I logged-in, but that’s it. No data gets pulled in. How long did they work on this thing?
Yeah… I’m having the same problem. It just can’t pull any data back…
Works for me. :P
Spoke too soon… it’s only pulling some of the data. Argh.
DId anyone at FB or MS even tested this app before it was release. MS is making silly mistakes with everthing these day.
Not sure what’s going on with you guys right now, but its working perfectly for me, ya’ll are glitchin!
We’re not the only ones.

Try restarting your zunes. It worked for me. Was getting same network error before restart.
restarting didn’t help me… not getting an error, just getting no info fed into the tabs.
