More info about Facebook 3.0

Lots more information about the Facebook 3.0 app is coming out.  AppAdvice has posted a variety of features that you’ll find in the new app, such as:

• The new news feed, similar to the news feed on the main Facebook site.
• You can “like” items.
• No push notification, though they’re hoping to release that with 3.1
• Events, and you can even RSVP.  Can’t visit an event’s wall, though.
• Notes, but no note tagging.
• Pages, which you can “fully interact” with
• Create new photo albums
• Upload images to any photo album
• Zoom into photos
• Easier photo tagging
• Profile picture albums
• New home screen.  This sounds cool.  You have nine boxes to play with and add links to — people, pages, etc.  You can create multiple screens of boxes for other people, pages.  However, once you add an item it’s stuck — no moving or deleting it unless you reinstall the app.  Yes, this will be fixed for 3.1.
• Call/text directly from the Friends page.
• Partial messages will be restored if you quit while typing (to take a phone call, for example).
• Upload video from 3GS, but you can’t play any videos on the phone.
• No landscape mode.

Still no word on the exact release date, as that’s in Apple’s hands.  I’d expect it in the next few days, but you never know.
