Facebook 2.0 for iPhone now Available on the AppStore

The Facebook [iTunes link] application for the iPhone has just been updated to version 2 (although you may see it listed as version 1.1 in the store), and the new version number brings some stellar features!
In this release, the Facebook team has completely revamped the user
interface and brought the client up to parity with the mobile Facebook
app for Blackberry (really surpassed it, if you ask me). Some of the
new features are:

Facebook Chat (OK, not new, but seems to be working much better now)
Address book lookup
New, easier to use interface, including notifications and the full news feed
Photo post on friends’ walls and view their full profiles
Photo tags (holding your finger down on the photo will show them)
People search, friend requests and your full inbox/inbox search
Photo uploading is faster
You can now upload photos from your library stored on the iPhone

In addition to all those changes, there are also “dozens of bug fixes
that improve stability” and speed — especially for users with a large
number of friends. Now that’s something every iPhone-owning Facebook
user will like!

You can download this new version of FaceBook.app for iPhone from the iTunes App Store today. Be sure to check out the changes in the user interface by looking at our gallery of screenshots
