Sneak Peek At Facebook for iPhone 3.0
Check out their review for more details, but here’s the gist:
– A new home screen (see first screenshot above) which will offer the ability to customize i.e. add boxes to the default start screen
– A better ‘News feed’: much more complete overview of status updates from your friends, but still lacking the ability to hide/unhide them from inside the app
– Videos (as expected): uploading video supposedly works like a charm, but you still can’t watch Facebook videos unless they’re actually hosted on YouTube (and likely other video hosting platforms as well) and simply played from inside the app
– Events (as expected): includes the ability to RSVP, but you can’t visit the complete event wall, which is unfortunate
– Pages: you can search for, view and interact with pages using Facebook for iPhone 3.0
– Photos: you can create new photo albums, upload photos to any album, zoom into photos and change your profile picture
– Communication: you can quickly or call people straight from the Friends page
– Improved ‘liking’ feature
– Notes, including the ability to edit them
– Notifications: much better, link directly to comments which you can respond to
– Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit the app or are interrupted by a phone call
Here’s to hoping for a quick green light from Apple.
Update: also got confirmation that there’s no landscape mode in this version.
Update 2: a lot more screenshots are available here.
