All of you Facebook addicts will soon have a majorly updated app to play with. Joe over at Facebook
spills the beans on an upcoming update below...and even mentions Push will be in the 3.1 version. Glorios Facebook Notifications bothering us all day? Can't wait!
Facebook for iPhone 3.0 is coming very soon. I can't predict an exact date when I will submit to Apple, but I can say that I am about 98% done. So what's new in this update?
1. The "new" News Feed
2. Like
3. Events (including the ability to RSVP)
4. Notes
5. Pages
6. Create new photo albums
7. Upload photos to any album
8. Zoom into photos
9. Easier photo tagging
10. Profile Pictures albums
11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call
The one feature everyone is asking for, Push Notifications, is in development but it won't make it into 3.0. You can expect it in a 3.1 update later this summer.
When I have submitted the app to Apple I will let you all know!

Cool, can't wait. The current Facebook app is nice, but lacks some important functionality. The home screen of the new app looks pretty nice actually! Can't wait for push!

Good. Seriously the current
Good. Seriously the current app sucks. It doesn't respect your news feed preferences and isn't good for much more than a quick catch-up on peoples' status updates.

Status update from feeds
I hope that status updates via the likes of Twitter or Brightkite through Selective Twitter will also show properly. Looking forward to 3.0 and esp Push in 3.1.

Photo transfer to contacts
Why does the facebook iPhone app not addthe photos of my friends to my phone's address book??? There are apps that can do it… the blackberry app does it… is it not a desired feature? Or is it difficult to do?
No video? huh?

Hopefully they have a "post confirm" I don't know how many times i've been typing away and accidentally hit the "post" button before i'm done typing my message.... there is a "cancel confirm" why not one for post??
how's about reliability
nice for the fb folks to give us more functionality, but i'd just settle for reliability. this app is the ONLY app i have that continually and forever freezes up. after i reboot the app it's okay...for about 30 seconds.
what a p.i.t.a.
