More info about Facebook 3.0
Lots more information about the Facebook 3.0 app is coming out. AppAdvice has posted a variety of features that you'll find in the new app, such as:
The new news feed, similar to the news feed on the main Facebook site.
You can "like" items.
No push notification, though they're hoping to release that with 3.1
Events, and you can even RSVP. Can't visit an event's wall, though.
Notes, but no note tagging.
Pages, which you can "fully interact" with
Create new photo albums
Upload images to any photo album
Zoom into photos
Easier photo tagging
Profile picture albums
New home screen. This sounds cool. You have nine boxes to play with and add links to -- people, pages, etc. You can create multiple screens of boxes for other people, pages. However, once you add an item it's stuck -- no moving or deleting it unless you reinstall the app. Yes, this will be fixed for 3.1.
Call/text directly from the Friends page.
Partial messages will be restored if you quit while typing (to take a phone call, for example).
Upload video from 3GS, but you can't play any videos on the phone.
No landscape mode.
Still no word on the exact release date, as that's in Apple's hands. I'd expect it in the next few days, but you never know.
