Facebook 3.0 for iPhone released

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.
