After a couple of weeks of waiting in the iTunes app store approval queue, the 3rd major update of the popular Facebook for iPhone [iTunes Link] application has been released. Joe Hewitt, the developer of the app, has been working on it for quite some time and submitted it for review on 8/16. If you're still seeing 2.5 in the app store, Joe suggests deleting the app from your phone and reinstalling it -- it will be 3.0.
The new version includes some of the most requested features including:
Better news feed with direct links to comments
Ability to "Like" posts
RSVP to events
Create/upload photos to albums
Write/edit notes
Customizable home screen
Improved photo viewing with zoom
Better notifications
Hewitt is already working on the next release, version 3.1, which is rumored to focus on adding Push Notifications.
