Facebook on the iPhone has always been sort of an incomplete experience. The mobile-optimized version of the site looks great, but the iPhone app was frustrating because it lacked so much of the functionality of the full Facebook website. Facebook 3.0 for iPhone changes that, and then some. Not only can you do virtually anything you can do on Facebook.com, you can also upload videos from your iPhone camera.
The main screen is a 3×3 grid of options, including news feeds, your profile, your friends list, photos and chat. Facebook also lets you add bookmarks to your home screen, which gives you quick access to favorite friends or pages. Video is the flashy new feature of Facebook 3.0, but smaller improvements might make more difference to serious users: you can now “like” news feed items and view events from the iPhone app, two things that were (frustratingly) impossible in version 2.5. All in all, the Facebook app now feels more like using the full site than it ever has before, and it’s finally worth checking out if you’ve been avoiding it.
