We’ve been hearing tell that Facebook would be getting a native iPad version forever, but there’s been no official confirmation until now. Well, point your browser here and take a gander at the official Facebook for iPad webpage, complete with a link to the iOS App Store.
Sadly, that link only leads to the iPhone-only Facebook app, but consider this proof that the native iPad will be dropping soon… maybe even this week.
(Thanks, James!)

Doesn’t work just does iPhone app only -_-
Why launch this and then not have the app. Shouldn’t you make sure the app is live first?
I just Downloaded it…its a Universal binary (German AppStore)
Funny, it’s live for me. Pretty cool update!

Its out now! Using it on my iPad! Unfortunately it doesn’t support Timeline :(
funny… it appeared as a Universal app for me on the app store, but when opening the app is still iPhone only…
It says it an iPhone app in the App Store, but once downloaded it’ll open in the native iPad form. Universal app.
Download and update the iphone app. Works for me
It’s out!
It’s out now! working on my iPad 2
maybe on wednesday alongside with iOS 5
OR NOT, i just downloaded and its working!! very good
already have the iPad app……very clean and streamlined!
app is brilliant! working well on my iPad!
It really works. After an update of the older iPhone version it didnt’t start correctly. Then i deleted the old version and installed the new one again. Now it works like a charm – in iPad style!
IPad app is up and running. Looks good. Looks like there is an ew iPhone app too.
Download the iPhone app on the iPad and you’ll get the native iPad app! Seems like Facebook hasn’t separated yet when I downloaded.
I had the same issue. I’d suggest everyone who has the iPhone version on their iPad delete it first then download the new iPad version. The app is sweet – I like being able to open image folders then just sweeping the window to dismiss them. Lots of good usage of native iOS gestures.
yup, already there…
I got my update on my German account. Perhaps it’s hitting the App Store in North America after midnight? Mine is up and running fine.
Won’t get past the login screen. Another Facebook fail; I should be use to it by now…
It’s rubbish. Stay away from this update.
Ditto for me Ed_Kel, and it caused my friend’s iPhone to completely crash!
Same thing..Stay away from this update…I some how got my iPhone out of that, and I can see my friends iPhone suffering from the same!!
Great on iPad. Killed my iPhone!! WTF
Got it back up and running but only after some pain.
The iPhone App is the official iPad App, its cross device.
what games are there that you can play in the facebook for iPad app?
