I agree. It is not even that good a re-release of the iPhone app. I was hoping for something to keep them relevant with what google has done. This is nothing special or groundbreaking at all. I expect better from a company that has such resources both in financial as well as people.
Have you actually used it? I am right now, and I couldn't disagree with you more.

Care to explain?
Just tried it out now and it has almost everything that the website has, but in a better and more enjoyable package. Other than for business purposes (ads and managing pages) I see no reason to use the website anymore. Here's how you get it: 1. Jailbreak your iPad 2. Install OpenSSH and Installous through Cydia 3.

Here's a simpler and safer process:
1) On your iPad 2 running iOS 4.3.3, or your iPad 1 running iOS 4.3 through 4.3.3: open up Safari and visit jailbreakme.com for a one-click jailbreak that also installs Cydia. You can learn more about this jailbreak at the iPhone Dev Team blog: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/7295551750/jailbreakme-times...
2) Open up Cydia, and on the right side of the Cydia for iPad homepage you'll see a link to FullForce, which is a free "tweak" by a reputable developer (http://twitter.com/rpetrich) who has updated it to enable the Facebook for iPad app. Install FullForce and configure it in your Settings app to apply to the Facebook for iPhone app. (I'm assuming you already have the Facebook app on your iPad. If not, you should get it from the App Store.) That's it!

You can also access the iPad version with FullForce or via editing the plist, but you will not be able to connect to Facebook due to their blocks.
It is unnecessary to download an IPA and to install it this way.
From the screenshots, you can see the photo viewer displaying a scrubber view (row of thumbnails). This strongly suggests that this app is built using Jeff Verkoeyen's Nimbus framework. If you're building (or built) apps using Three20, it'll probably be good idea to follow the Nimbus framework on Github. http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/25/facebook-ipad-app-pictures/... http://jverkoey.github.com/nimbus/interface_n_i_ph…
Maybe I am just not getting it, maybe I am in my sceptic mood or maybe I am getting sensationalist news fatigue. It's an iPad app yes, so what? Where someone expecting that FB wouldn't do an iPad app? Why is it secret? Does it do anything remarkable? It seems like this is news because it's FaceBook not because the app in itself is interesting.
That's why it's news. It's not secret. That's just sensationalist reporting.
