Facebook, iPhone, Mobile

The new, 3.0 version of Facebook’s popular iPhone application went live last week. It looked great, but it didn’t include VoiceOver support — Apple’s voice and keyboard service for the vision-impaired. Now, it does.

Facebook’s iPhone app developer, Joe Hewitt, just tweeted out the news. For those of you who have been using the earlier versions of the app, Hewitt also said that he fixed lots of software bugs. Note: One of those fixes may have been listing events by soonest first.
