Besides the mail, phone, and maps apps, it’s hard to think of an icon on my iPhone that I tap on more than Facebook. So when a major update appeared yesterday—3.0 if you keep track of these things—you probably heard FB addicts like me breathe a collective sigh of “finally!”
The version that it replaced wasn’t terrible; it was merely serviceable. You could perform basic FB tasks such as posting status updates to your profile and making friend requests, but it was a pipe dream to delve into only slightly-more-involved tasks like accessing events or managing your photo albums. With 3.0, these things are possible, as well as many other features that have long been on everyone’s wish lists.
The home screen has a completely new layout that you can tweak by rearranging the order of the icons. You can even create shortcuts to your favorite friends and give them prime real estate on your main screen. 3.0 also adds a built-in web browser, landscape mode, and if you have an iPhone 3GS, the ability to upload videos to your albums. I still don’t get why I can’t edit my profile right from the iPhone app (right now you can only change your profile picture), but overall, this is a solid update.
What do you think of it, PopWatchers? Is there anything left to add to the next iPhone Facebook app?

Last night, Lisa brought NeNe home to Inglewood to meet her family. NeNe didn’t expect to see so many Asian folks, and immediately removed her 10 inch heels. Her shock over Lisa’s Chinese side of the family got a little silly, as she kept tugging on her friend’s sleeve and asking her if she actually spoke their language and insisting that Lisa was black at heart. I’m going to give NeNe a pass though because she is actually quite sweet with old people and didn’t blink an eye when it turned out that Lisa’s parents are in fact adorable finger puppets.
