Facebook 3.0 screenshots
Screenshots of Facebook for iPhone 3.0 have been released by Joe Hewitt, the application's developer, according to appadvice. The application allows users to manage their Facebook account from their iPhone or iPod touch. The latest version offers a remodeled News Feed, matching it with the user's online preferences to eliminate posts from hidden accounts. The application adds the Like tool, featured on the traditional Facebook site, while allowing users to access Event pages.
Version 3.0 will also feature full access to Pages and the ability to create, upload, zoom and tag photographs and their respective albums. The update also includes a new home screen with nine default boxes that can be further customized.
The latest version does not add the anticipated Push notification service, but the service is expected to be added in v3.1. The upgrade also cannot play Facebook videos, but does include the ability to upload videos.
Facebook for iPhone 3.0 has reportedly been submitted for approval from the App Store review team.

Thanks, but ...
At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I'm bewildered at why it would take SO LONG for a quality Facebook app to emerge. The current version is just -- horrible.
Taking a look at the myriad high-quality apps for Twitter, and noticing that tying together the most used, much more disparate services/third parties users would expect, only deepens the mystery.
