Long Overdue Facebook

People have been waiting for over a year for this. The Facebook iPad app. In the article I read on the situation the author described waiting for the iPad app like "waiting for BigFoot". I literally cant imagine what that might feel like. The app came out a few days ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. From what people are saying it is very obvious that Facebook put a lot of time into this app. Mostly because people will be spending a lot of time on it. They figure the average user will spend about 8hrs a month on the mobile Facebook.

That has always been something i had never understood about the iPad is how it didnt have a Facebook app. It seems so obvious that it would have one. Some analysts from the article are saying that this app may even boost iPad sales its that good. He said that one of the reasons some people opt to go for other tablets is that it was more expensive and didnt mesh well with their social media life.

The release of this app has got to be like a second birthday except for those who developed the current Facebook apps for iPad. But thats just competition, and in this market they will just have to adapt or offer something that the real Facebook app cant (whatever that may be).
