I really don't know how to feel about this. As much as I want to say "get a brain" to these people… a problem this widespread really can't be considered an individual problem.

This is, I guess, representative of the problems the iPad is aimed at, but I'd really rather there was a better solution.

It's just a matter of the numbers involved. With hundreds of millions of users on Facebook it's inevitable that some of them are going to be either complete internet beginners or straight-up idiots.

Also, once you get a few dozen of those messages, the trolls come out and pretty soon you can't tell who is confused and who's just piling on for fun:

What is rong heer. I wnted to get my bebo. But my bebo wos stolen. I just wnt my bebo back. I dunt want your crappy site wheres my bebo you will get sud for million dollas $$$$ for bebonets stealing

Well said, MrFerret. Well said.

So someone makes a webpage that looks exactly like the iPad home screen, puts a bunch of icons for apps on it, one of which is the facebook app icon. All of the icons link to the same page2.html that looks exactly like the facebook app login screen, which then gets stolen.

Given how uniquely unobservant you'd have to be to have this problem, I'm willing to bet that would successfully phish a few hundred credentials. Alternately, this all an elaborate hoax that we've fallen for. (Please?)
