It seems that the next iteration of everyone's favourite social networking site is drawing ever nearer, after software engineer Joe Hewitt tweeted that they'd finally submitted 'Facebook 3.0 for iPhone to Apple.

Facebook's software engineer Joe Hewitt updated his Twitter page saying "Just uploaded Facebook for iPhone 3.0 to the App Store for review. :)". Then going onto show there's no rest for the wicked, updating it saying "As excited as I am about 3.0, I am *really* excited about 3.1, which I get to start working on tomorrow. Tonight I can relax."

He also posted a list of the new features coming in 3.0:

1. The "new" News Feed
2. Like
3. Events (including the ability to RSVP)
4. Notes
5. Pages
6. Create new photo albums
7. Upload photos to any album
8. Zoom into photos
9. Easier photo tagging
10. Profile Pictures albums
11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call

I've never been a massive fan of the current iPhone app that's available for iPhone, so I'm hoping this one is a bit more stable and less prone to crashing, plus being able to RSVP and zoom into photos has been something I think should have been included in the first version...
