The chat does not

Try uploading a photo and get back to us.

Why? Is there a limitation on iPad "full" web browsing experience by chance?🙄

why a fb app when www.facebook.com is so easy on iPad?

Then feel free to continue using their site instead of the new app. The exit out of this thread is right over there... or to leave quicker Alt-F4 (windows) or Cmd-Q (Mac).

So what time do IOS updates usually hit? Does Apple open it up at midnight ET or at some random time during the day scheduled for release?

Still not up! That's it I'm switching to twitter!!!!!!!!!

I'm thinking it should be good to go by 5PM PST given that's the Cupertino time frame for most things, but I could be wrong though.

If memory serves me correctly, it's a random time but typically during West Coast business hours, i.e., it won't go live at 2:30am Pacific Time.

So, how many bugs have they introduced in this new version? Their number of defects per KLOC must be... interesting.

Fully agree for notifications!
For the other ones... well, no comment. iPad 'should' at that screen size to be able to provide the end user with an adequate www experience.

[...]The exit out of this thread is [...] Cmd-Q (Mac)

Should I Cmd-Q myself out of here now as I have been advised?

And iPad version is now up. Just downloaded and running.

 

[TopToffee]

it popped up in my "updates" list a minute ago. I updated, but it's still the previous version... looks like it's not far off now though

 

[Stuipdboy1000]

Just popped up for me here in the UK.

 

[paulcdb]

available in the uk now 😉

Edit: Seems by fb games, it means if the game already has an app installed from the appstore then fb will load that app... not exactly fb games!

It it live for me here in Los Angeles. Finally.

I also expect deep Facebook integration into iOS (like twitter) to be one of the first major uses of the new over the air delta update system. I expect apple to use this to push out new features on a semi regular basis to keep buzz about iOS churning in between major releases.

just my prediction

 

[jatt559]

yup its live

 

[AnthonySmith]

Just downloaded it. I'll tell you how I like it.

 

[N-Y]

It's up!!!

 

[rockrigo]

well facebook the actual site sucks so not really putting much hope in this app (considering how bad past apps have been too)

 

[techguy20]

Finally! Downloading now...
