Facebook 3.0 iPhone application relegated to Apple

Good news for all the iPhone users is that facebook has finally submitted its facebook3.0 iPhone application yesterday. “Just uploaded Facebook for iPhone 3.0 to the App Store for review. :)” was mentioned on twitter by Joe Hewitt of Facebook.

The tweet also mentions that Hewitt will be soon posting screen shots and more details on the facebook page for the iPhone app next week, and that he’s looking forward to getting started on v. 3.1 tomorrow.

Hewitt also said that as an additional benefit, he’d be able to include video uploads to Facebook from iPhone 3Gs phones as well. It won’t be too late that we’ll have access to the much-improved app which is scheduled to have features such as a News Feed that is more like the one on Facebook’s site, the ability to “like” items and a new customizable home screen. More importantly, it will also have video support for the iPhone 3GS, something which Hewitt threw-in at the last second, unexpectedly. And perhaps best of all, the app will have the ability to manage events, finally.

It’s likely that Apple will approve this app in short order. Not only are they trying to avoid high profile app problems, there’s also not very much in the Facebook app that they or AT&T would take exception to.
