Note: Even if it says Facebook 2.5, it is actually Facebook 3.0 due to caching. Direct download it or wait until Apple updates its cache.

We knew it was coming in all of its glory. With additions such as events, creating photo albums, photo zoom, and a new home screen, how could we not be excited for the Facebook for iPhone 3.0 update? Well, the wait is over: Facebook 3.0 for the iPhone has arrived.
The new update completely upgrades the Facebook iPhone app, still the #1 most popular application in the iTunes store. And let’s be clear: this upgrade was absolutely essential. While Facebook 2.5 allowed you to browse your friends, update your status, check your notifications, and use Facebook Chat, that’s really all it could do.
So what’s new in the app? Joe Hewitt, the developer of the Facebook iPhone App, actually has a list of new features and improvements posted last week. Here’s what’s in store for you when you open up Facebook 3.0:
- See your upcoming Events and RSVP
- See your friends’ birthdays
- See Pages and post updates and photos to Pages you administer
- Write Notes and read your friends’ Notes
- Upload videos from an iPhone 3GS
- Upload photos to any album
- Complete photo management (create albums, delete albums, delete photos, delete photo tags)
- Change your Profile Picture
- Zoom into photos
- Like posts and photos
- See the same News Feed as the Facebook website
- Visit links in a built-in web browser
- See all of your friends’ friends and Pages
- See mutual friends
- Easily search for people and Pages
- Make friend requests
- Become a fan of Pages
- Quickly call or text your friends
- Create shortcuts to your favorite friends and Pages
- Friends sorted by first or last name according to your settings
- Chat friends sorted alphabeticaly
At this point, you should be reaching for your iPhone and getting the update if you haven’t done so already. So please, try it out and post your thoughts about the new Facebook app in the comments. Does it live up to expectations? Is it still missing something big? We want to know.
So you’ve downloaded, perhaps even purchased, some of the new iPhone/iPod Touch apps from the App Store. Then you discovered you don’t really want or need that app. This tutorial will guide you in deleting it from your iPhone or iPod Touch.
On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.

Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.

Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, select Delete.
