I'm not enough of a Facebook user to say much about the current Facebook 2.5 for iPhone. As iPhone apps go, it looks ok to me, is stable and performs basic tasks as expected.

Facebook for iPhone 3.0

Its developer says it is about 98% completed and expects to submit it to Apple in the near future. He also says that the frequently requested Push feature won't be in the 3.0 update. Here's what is though:

1. The "new" News Feed
2. Like
3. Events (including the ability to RSVP)
4. Notes
5. Pages
6. Create new photo albums
7. Upload photos to any album
8. Zoom into photos
9. Easier photo tagging
10. Profile Pictures albums
11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call
