Title: Facebook For iPhone Updated: No iOS 4 Support, No iPad Support, Broken UI

There was a time when Facebook was at the forefront of mobile app development. Before there was even an App Store, the web app Facebook put out that was optimized for the iPhone was brilliant. Then the App Store came and with it was a great Facebook native app. Then came version 3 of the app, which was even better. Those days, sadly, are long over.

Hmm...  I've just got an iPhone, and it already has iOS4 on it (beta).  Have to say, I'm not liking the lack of configurable options, like message tones, and the home screen, and the fact that it doesn't seem to have basic features like a tasks app, and doesn't notify you on screen (in standby), when an email arrives.  Seems, for a gadget that's supposed to be head and shoulders above the rest, it lacks severely in basic functionality.

should've gone for android  ;)

I'm sure there must be tasks out there todo these things though.

This looks like an interesting list: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/the-best-iphone-apps/
