Facebook for iPhone 3.0 Now Available
August 27th, 2009
| By Justin Smith | 9 Comments » |
Facebook for iPhone 3.0, which was submitted to Apple 11 days ago, has just been approved and is now available in the App Store.
The new version, which we reviewed in detail last week, brings a bevy of new features to Facebook’s iPhone app, including commenting and likes in the News Feed, full support for Facebook Pages, new and improved navigation, events and RSVPs, video uploading, complete photo management, notes, and more. Push notifications will not be released until version 3.1. Overall, it looks fantastic.
Now that the new version is released, we expect to see many more Facebook Page administrators updating their Pages through their iPhones, many more mobile videos posted to user profiles, and much more feed interaction (comments and likes) happening while users are on the go.
Facebook for iPhone is of the most heavily used iPhone applications ever – nearly 12 million people around the world have used it in the last month.

Is there a place we can download 2.2? I am using a touch and 2.2 was better for the touch.

Just in case of any blind iPhone user reading this: DO NOT UPGRADE TO THE LATEST FACEBOOK APP! Whatever the sighted community tells you, if you are blind (using Voiceover Screen Reading Technology), all the upgrade brings you is an almost complete loss of accessibility. Most buttons are not labeled and most text strings will not be read out anymore. Stay with anything before this wrongly praised version! @everyone: please if you know anyone who is blind, make sure this warning reaches them. You can get in touch with me on FB. I am THE.Swissionary .

how about banning internet functions on phones? The app is pretty great to keep updated while your on the move. And you always have the option not to open the application when you don’t want to.
