Facebook iPhone App (NEW)
Rating: 
About a year ago facebook launched the Facebook iPhone website, and it has over 1.5 million people using it regularly. Today, Apple has opened the doors to its App Store which features a new application we’ve created: Facebook for iPhone.
You’re probably wondering what makes the iPhone application different from the facebook for iPhone website. The bottom line is that applications built for the iPhone have access to more technology than websites. For example, with the native application you can take photos with the iPhone’s camera and upload them instantly to your Mobile Uploads album on Facebook. You’ll also find the native application is much faster than the website, giving you more reliable access to your Friends, Photos, and Inbox.
Facebook for iPhone also brings one important new feature to the iPhone - Facebook Chat. Wherever you are, you’ll be able to see which of your Facebook friends are online and chat with them for free.
The first version of Facebook for iPhone is just a glimpse of the future. For instance, the iPhone has the ability to find where you are located, and we are looking for ways to let you opt-in to share your location and discover nearby friends. We’re developing this and several other exciting new features that we’ll release in the coming months.
Facebook for iPhone works with the original iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPhone 3G. You can download the application for free from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/
iPhone junkies like myself can rejoice; this app from facebook is a thing of beauty.

I have downoaded this, along with AIM.
I also see quite a few ebooks of books in the public domain. Any idea of publishers will be selling bestsellers?

This app is HORRIBLE just go look at the ratings it has received on iTunes.
It looks stripped down, and is missing the wall.
Why didn’t they just improve upon the web app?
