Default Facebook games with Folio

Hello,
I want to buy the Toshoba Folio (in these days the price is going a little bit down) as a gift for my wife.
I have one doubt. My wife likes to play a lot with Facebook games, like Farmville, Frontierville and so on.
Is the Folio powerfull enough to use for that ?
Reading the specs for me is ok, but any comment will be very appreciate, if someone has a direct experience.

Thank you
boscam

I don't play this facebook games as I think they don't worth it. Still I guess for some people and manly casual gamers this could be a nice to have feature on a tablet. They could even be used at work, as they run from everywhere and at anytime.

As they are web based they should run with a normal web browser and you could get a handfull of browsers in Google Market. I don't know if they use flash or even java but both are available for Folio ( Flash support is still beta though). I had played some flash kids games and it worked fine.
I hope that someone that use to play in facebook could help you and give you details on it.

Nope, Farmville doesn't work on FolioMod 1.3d. I tried with Dolphin Mini browser, which seems to run most of flash website, except the Farmville game. Probably I need to update the flash player, because I'm still using the default flash player preloaded in FolioMod 1.3d

I tried some games: mafia wars works ok, kingdoms of kamelot also, but....no way to play farmville. You can accept gifts but not work with the farm screen.
