They promised it by the end of September, and it just made it in time — the Facebook 2.0 app for the iPhone.
It brings with it a host of new features, including:
- Full news feed, not just status updates.
- Notifications. These will even work with the background push notification, once Apple gets it going.
- Redesigned profiles.
- Find/approve new friends.
- Full inbox. The current version only will show your 30 most recent messages.
If you use Facebook much at all, you’ll find this to be a superb app. Go download/upgrade it right now!

Facebook has just announced version 2 of their iPhone application, due to come out sometime in September. Based on the screenshots they’ve shown, it looks slick!
I’m a pretty big fan of the current app, but apparently others aren’t so happy with it (check out these comments on Gizmodo).
Some of the new features include:
- Full news feed, not just status updates.
- Notifications. These will even work with the background push notification, once Apple gets it going.
- Redesigned profiles.
- Find/approve new friends.
- Full inbox. The current version only will show your 30 most recent messages.
It sounds like a great update. If we hear of a more specific release date, we’ll let you know.
In the meantime, here are some screenshots to help you get a better feel for it.

If you go download the latest version of iTunes (7.7), you can now browse and download applications for your iPhone and iPod Touch. Of course, you can’t load them yet because the new firmware hasn’t been released, but that is expected by about noon EST today.
There are over 500 applications available, including 135 free ones. I’m quite disappointed to not see much from Google (I was hoping for Gmail, Reader, etc), but overall there is some good stuff.
Personally, I’m pleased to see applications like Evernote and SmugShot in there, along with the expected ones like the Facebook app. What do you see that really grabs your attention?
Dang, I really need an iPhone now…
