How very convenient that this leaks RIGHT after news spread about the developer being unhappy and leaving facebook.
This guy was the lead developer and left and he himself did not even know when this was happening, and all of a sudden, casually just after the news of him quitting starts spreading, this stuff is published by Mashable. Who is known to be sort of a publicity-leak-machine for facebook. (remember last week's teaser of what was about to be announced at F8?)
Also, I would not rule out that this guy would have left even if he knew this release was coming if he was unhappy about what has been happening during the past year. Probably nothing an October release would change.

Yes please.
It makes a lot more sense than Twitter Integration... seriously, the first thing I want to do with my photos after I take them is get them on Facebook (Unless I'm taking the photo in the SMS app, in which case I might intend it for someone specific.)

I'll believe it when I see it. I was also curious as to why Apple partnered with Twitter over Facebook though. I am also curious about this supposed revamped iPhone app, since the current one is still pretty crappy, albeit is getting better with each update. The push updates are still his and miss though.
Sure, these sites aren't of use to every single person in the world. However, saying they're all the same is completely false. There are huge qualitative differences between them, especially between Facebook/MySpace and Twitter.
Next time you throw around calling people nuts, at least use a couple brain cells in the process of formulating your thoughts.
Seems fishy.
Now then, why would anyone launch an iPad app at an launch for an iPhone?

Facebook don't use it anymore never really did..it's just another myspace..never was really into that networking..I just tweet
They seemed to be getting on fine at the dinner Obama hosted, Ballmer was not invited so it seems that Steve and Zuckerberg hate Ballmer more.
i agree, facebook is what it is meaning they can really do whatever with it and nothing changes so please, iPhone 5 news only please.
One compound word: spyware. That's my honest opinion of the facebook app whatever version on whatever platform. It tracks you and tries to sell you stuff. Kind of like a door-to-door hound. I don't need it pissing on my porch so I use the webpage and try to keep that in control.
Probably doing this to save face and make the developer look stupid. He (developer) was probably right about them not releasing it. However, after he opened his mouth they had to go, "Uhhh. Hahaha. Dummy, we were going to release it alongside the iPhone 5 the whole time! Hahahaha! Yea."

It's not FaceBook that's changing, it's you. You are growing up and gaining sophistication. There will always be a place for FaceBook with the little kids.
Try Twitter I understand it's hot.

His and miss, your typos are so clever
Please tell me that the announcement doesn't need to be 'spiced' up with a Facebook App demo...

I'm reminded of the phrase 'why are we having a meeting for the sake of having a meeting...'
I understand some developers like to have Apple Demo their Apps on stage and all, heck it's great publicity, but when they had eBay demo their app, it was to me, just an extension of the web, just built native around the iPhone/iPad... I don't really think we need to devote x amount of time to these things, be it eBay, Facebook, twitter integration is different, as it can be used system wide in iOS 5, unless Facebook does too, I think it's a waste and time filler...
