Facebook 3.0 launches for the iPhone
Users are able to get their hands on the latest Facebook 3.0 application for the iPhone a little early, directly from Apple via the AppStore. The application is believed to be in the final stages of approval, moving from Apple's approval review process to the AppStore.
The new release offers an updated UI for Facebook, offering new features, smoother and faster load times, the ability to handle events, including an updated Facebook chat for instant messaging conversations. Facebook 3.0 also offers users the ability to "Like" on friend's status', something that was not available in the 2.5 release.
In order for users to receive the early update, users must first delete their existing installation of Facebook off their iPhone, done by simply holding down on the Facebook app and pressing the "X" button. Once the application is removed, load up the AppStore and download Facebook again. The AppStore will still display the latest version as 2.5, but users will receive the latest 3.0 installation.
