Upgrade Time: iPhone Facebook App.

June 21, 2010 - Facebook pushed out a new version of their iPhone application which includes a few upgrades including the ability to watch Facebook Video.  Other upgrades with this newer version include: the ability to view/write on walls of events and upload photos that are 720 pixels wide.

The only upgrade developers have left out this time around is the ability for users to tag or un-tag themselves in photos (sigh).  The app. also has a tendency to not work or load properly, but I think this minor bug will be perfected with more upgrades.  At least Facebook is dedicated to refining their app so users can access Facebook anytime, anywhere.  Convenience and simplicity is definitely the way to win Facebook user’s over.
