2.0 or second attempt?

One of the first apps I downloaded when the App Store launched for the iPhone was Facebook.

Excited as I was to see that there was finally a native application that would take advantage of all of the lovelies that Steve Jobs promised us in the 2.0 firmware, I felt let down and in some ways betrayed. Why you may ask. Well quite simply because the native app is...how do I say this...Crap! So many features were missing, to the extent that the web-app version of Facebook was far superior and correct me if im wrong but native apps were supposed to do what web apps couldnt, hence the raving and ranting that Apple made about the SDK.


I finally feel that my internal betrayal has been made better by reading that Facebook 2.0 would be launched some time soon.

What does this mean?

Well...you can finally view an informative yet useful home screen that actually shows profile updates, picture uploads, who broke up with who, along with the 'as-seen-before' status updates. A completely redesigned application that looks as good as it sounds. I can hardly wait.

I am a Facebook junkie, and this is what I need.
