Facebook 3.0 iPhone/iPod Touch App Unveiled Updated Facebook App with Events, Photo Albums

Back in September of last year we offered you a heads up concerning the
release of the Facebook 2.0 App for the iPhone and iPod Touch and now we
can confirm that the new version - known as Facebook for iPhone 3.0 - of
the decidedly popular Facebook app (which, incidentally, is purportedly
used by around 25% of all iPhone users) is nearing completion and is set
to be submitted to Apple 'soon'.

So what can you expect from the new Facebook 3.0 App? Thankfully Joe
Hewitt, the project's lead engineer, has offered up a pretty
comprehensive list of features that seems to have addressed many users
feedback concerning the previous version.
Facebook for iPhone 3.0 Confirmed Features:

The new News Feed
Like
Events (including the ability to RSVP)
Notes
Pages
Create new photo albums
Upload photos to any album
Zoom into photos
Easier photo tagging
Profile Pictures albums
A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and
notifications
Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted
by a phone call
The eagle-eyed amongst you will note that there's no mention of Push
Notifications in the above feature set as this is not included, though
Hewitt, in recognising that this is a feature that's been repeatedly
called for, has confirmed that Push Notifications, whilst not making it
into the 3.0 release, is set to be offered as an update (v3.1) sometime
later this summer.
