Why the new facebook app makes me want an iPad

For what seems like an eternity already, the official facebook app for the iPad has finally arrived and looks really good. Of course, the very first thing you’ll notice is the heavy integration of the swype and pinch feature that is inherent to all touch devices. Then the photos, which looks really good in an iPad, the interface is pretty clean with the various menus located on the left side, messages and notifications fixed on top, a welcome change compared to the cluttered, disorganized style of the desktop version.

They also made enhancements on their iPhone app and m.facebook.com platform with heavy HTML5 integration that is prevalent through simple navigation and wickedly fast search queries inside the social network.
