Facebook for iPhone 3.0 is "approved and available," writes Facebook developer Joe Hewitt on Twitter.
The new app's features include:
Facebook's "new" News Feed
The ability to "Like" updates.
Events (including the ability to RSVP)
Notes, Facebook's blogging app.
Pages, Facebook accounts for companies and celebrities.
Improved photo-management.
A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
The ability to 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 app's launch is a very important development in Facebook's increasingly heated competition with microblogging startup Twitter.
Following a failed acquisition at the end of last year, Facebook has steadily adopted Twitter features and growth strategies as its own.
Oh it's on like Donkey Kong!
